Interpretation

Commentary
The reading is from a hand-copy made by Dr Farouk Al-Rawi. The second letter is damaged and it is possible it should be read as a h. There is a dot in the copy after the first ʿ and it is possible that the name should be read as ʿnṯgt. However such a name would be very difficult to explain and it seems likely that the dot is a copyist's mistake. ʾtm here is explained on the basis of Classical Arabic maʾtam "a place of assembling in a case of rejoicing or mourning" (Lane 13c–14a).
