TIJ 112.1

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TIJ: Harding commented: "There seems to be a z [what is now read as ʾ] missing at the beginning to judge from the style of the n (cf. 100). ʿAbd-mekkat is new”. Littmann commented: "If ʿbd mkt is correct it is a very interesting name: ʿAbd Mekkat ‘servant of Mekka’ (The Holy City). But a l might be supplied: ʿAbd Malikat" Milik 1958–1959: 355: ʿbdmkt in Harding 112A [=TIJ 112.1] would be "servant of the (king) Malikat". King GMH 1990: 141, n. 11: "The text is Thamudic D and from a photograph and copy I made in 1986, I would read the text as zn ʿbd mḥ and interpret it as an unfinished love text of the form zn N1 mḥb N2."
