Siglum
BES20 204
Transliteration
l ḥgr ---- rḥbt {b-} {q}l{l}
Translation
{By} Ḥgr ---- the Ruḥbah (with little}

Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is very difficult to read. One cannot read what immediately follows the author's name. For the distinction between the place called "the Ruḥbah" and the common noun raḥabah in Safaitic see Macdonald 1992: 23–25.
