Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIT: ʾbyn for ʾ{b}yn. JMAA VIII p. 4: ʾryn for ʾbyn.
Commentary
The third letter is a much smaller curve than the b of bn on the other hand it is an unlikely shape for a r in these texts where in most of the clear reading the letter is larger and either has a straight back with hooked arms or is square. It is probably a bad copy.
