Siglum: DhSh 4.2
Transliteration: tqṣ b {ḥ}
ġlṭ / ----

Ahmad Al-Jallad
Translation: By Tqṣ son of Ḥ NA
Ahmad Al-Jallad
Language and Script: Dhofari 1a

Interpretation

Commentary: The inscription is weathered and not possible to interpret. The first term, tqṣ, could be interpreted as a verb. The b could be a part of it as well, so tqṣb. The following ḥ is unclear but may begin a word to the right the word divider below. To the left of the word divider, we find the word ġlṭ 'error' or 'to err', as in DhSh 4.1.
