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. The text starts immediately to the right of Jawa76M. 6 and runs vertically until w ndm when it turns and runs horizontally to the right. The reading of ʿbd and bʾs¹ is uncertain.
