Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIT: the n at the end is uncertain. JMAA XIII p.197: the n at the end is certain and the sign of a circle with a cross in it is a wasm.
Commentary
SIT points out that the k's resemble Thamudic ġ's which is mistakenly printed as g in the publication. SIT would have been referring to Thamudic E, i.e. Hismaic. There is definitely a short stroke at the end after the b although it is inscribed in a slightly different technique. The circle with a cross in the middle might be a wasm as suggested by JMAA XIII but this is by no means certain.
