Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
C: w (ḥ)[l] b- rḥbt f ʾyb b- bʾr gml "and he camped near the Ruḥbah. And he came to well of the camels." Macdonald 1992: 24 p. 34 n. 15-16: w {ġ}{z}{z} b- rḥbt f {ṣ}yr b- rʾb gml "and he {raided} in the Ruḥbah and then {returned} to the watering place with a herd of seventy camels" Al-Jallad 2016: 100: w (ḥ)[l] b- rḥbt f ʾyb b- rʾ(y) gml ""and he camped at Rḥbt, as he returned [from the inner desert] during the {heliacal rising} of Gemini."
Commentary
C's reading (ḥ)[l] is restored from three straight lines which we suggest would be better read {ġ}{z}{z} "he raided" .
