Interpretation

Commentary

The readings of the first two lines are fairly certain but do not yield anything intelligible at the moment. The final line contains the name ʾamat-śakūr a female personal name perhaps meaning 'bondswoman of the one who is thanked'.  The inscription is a rare example of Thamudic B written in parallel right to left lines.
