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 Jāwah. It is at the far left of the photographs. The first three letters are very faint. Note that Jawa76M 7, which is immediately to the right of this text, is possibly by this author's son who is grieving for ʾnʿm, who would be his grandfather.
