Translation
By Mry and [grant him] aid O {Yṯʿ}

Language and Script
Safaitic 1

Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription presents a reversal of the typical prayer structure of invocation of the deity followed by a request. It seems that the h following s¹ʿd is the vocative particle, rather than a pronoun (i.e. help him). Josef Bloomfield
