Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT CTSS: rhḥ for rhṭ. Read in CTSS p. 126–127 as Safaitic.
Commentary
As Clark notes the first name ṣhḥ is absolutely clear but would seem to be an impossible name, and might be a mistake for ṣyḥ. Ḏyl instead of ḏ- ʾl is at present unique and could represent a pronunciation *ḏī ʾāl rather than *ḏū ʾāl. See Al-Jallad 2015: 85–86. Compare MNM 6 and the commentary there.
