- By {Yġṯ} son of Tm and he grieved for Bʿls¹mn
Interpretation
- Commentary
- Bʿls¹mn occurs occasionally as a personal name in Safaitic (see AKSJ 3c and cf .Bʿls¹my in C 88) and is presumably a hypocoristic of a theophoric compound. Like King Archive 2–3, and 4–6, the inscription is known only from polaroid prints discovered in the archive of Geraldine King.
