HaNSB 287: ʿ[l][y] for ʿ----
Commentary
There is no justification from the copy for the restoration of the patronym as ʿly in HaNSB. The last part of the inscription is very doubtful. The l, second h, second n, and the line of the q are all written in thinner strokes than the other letters of the inscription. There is, however, a drawing of a camel accompanying this inscription, suggesting that the translation is correct. The absence of the article on nqt is likely due to assimilation, see the commentary of HaNSB 39.
