Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: HaNS 314: translation of end "and he arrived (at the place) and his camel was thirsty" (waṣala (al-makān) wa qad ʿaṭašat bakaratuhu).
Commentary: The preposition bi- is taken as an instrumental, ʾty b- "he came by means of". Gender concord between subject and verb is well attested in Safaitic and there are no examples yet of feminine singular concord with an inanimate plural. Either way, such an alignment cannot explain the masculine singular concord of the verb lwb with a feminine singular subject, bkrt. It is more likely that the verb here refers to the author and the preposition b- is not reflected in the orthography, for the same reasons outlined in the commentary of HaNSB 197 and HaNSB 39. ʾty f lwb [b-] bkrt -h ʾty fa la-wi-b-bi bkrt-h he came and he was thirsty upon his camel
