Language and Script
Safaitic 1

Interpretation

Commentary
The final name is unattested in Safaitic, but relatively clear on the stone. The name wqṯ has been attested once in Taymanitic (WTay 34). The final letter is scratched in a smaller size next to the ṯ. The letter resembles a ḏ, but the combination of ṯ and ḏ would be unlikely. Josef Bloomfield
