Interpretation

Commentary
The author of the present inscription likely produced another text, WR.A 2, at the promontory at the confluence of Wādī Rushaydah in the province al-Suweidah of southern Syria. It is unclear if this text was a later addition to the panel, or was produced at the same time as BES19s 29 and 30, which are associated with the rock drawing; see those cards for a description of the scene.
