Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Khraysheh 1996: 11: mentioned but not read. Hayajneh 2021 gave this inscription and KhNSB 2 (with which it is a bilingual), a new (joint) siglum: W.Bayir-YU 1.
Commentary
This text and KhNSB 1 form a Safaitic-Nabataean bilingual, at least as far as the personal names.
