Interpretation

Commentary

The name ʾnʿm bn ẓnn is noted in several known Safaitic inscriptions with varying genealogies, indicating that the name sequence may have been common. However, another inscription, ZSIJ 38 / ZSGT 1 contains the genealogy ʾnʿm bn ẓnn bn mrʾ and also a very similar handwriting and directional winding of the script. These two inscriptions may be associated.
