Language and Script

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
MST p.9 n. 52: qyẓ ḥrt "he spent the dry season in the ḥarra".
Commentary
MCAM: the fourth name is probably mrwn as suggested in CSA's commentary; fifth name is probably ʾbl. The second letter of the fifth name is more like the r's of the text than the b's; the second letter of the sixth name seems to be clearly a b in the copy; from the copy the first letter of the seventh name has a small line protruding from the corner and it is possible it should be read k.
