Published in Macdonald, Muʾazzin, Nehmé 1996: 444-445, as B2. See the commentary there. The final y is partially damaged by a split in the rock. See RMenv.C 1, CSNS 661, and BSWSA 562 for other Safaitic inscriptions by people claiming to be "Nabataeans", and see the discussions in Macdonald 2009 II, 307, n. 28; 350, n. 302; 2009 IV, 185, n. 23, 186.
