Interpretation
- Commentary
- It is possible that Al-Mafraq Museum 21 is by the same man. While two-name genealogies are not enough to determine the identity of the writer, both inscriptions contain drawings of a camel and are in the same script variant (1), which increases the likelihood that they were carved by the same man.
