l ḥlb bn ṯfyt bn ʾs¹lm bn ḍrʿ
Translation
By Ḥlb son of Ṯfyt son of ʾs¹lm son of Ḍrʿ

Interpretation

Commentary
The two inscriptions on this rock are presumably written by two sons of Ṣfyt/Ṯfyt, but the readings do not seem to agree. BPWS 614 looks like it could read Ṣfyt and thus agree with BPWS 615. ʾs¹l in BPWS 615 has been emended on the same basis; it looks like there could possibly be a faint m next to the l? [JO]
