Interpretation

Commentary

The inscription is on the left bank of Wādī Rāǧil, on a cliff-face at the waterfall approximately 2 km upstream from the site of Jāwā. The text is carved vertically starting to the right of the second name in Jawa76M 2. The drawing of a female camel above it has a lighter patina than the inscriptions and so is probably later.
