Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
HaNS 352: translation of prayer: ... from Hgr (tribe), the enemy ("min hgr, al-ʿaduwwah).
Commentary
There is a cartouche surrounding the inscription. Safaitic hgr can be connected with OSA hgr "city'; Gəʿəz hagar "region, city, village, homeland, etc" (Leslau 1987:216). The exact sense of the word is not clear from the context so we have chosen the neutral term "territory". It is also possible to read the word as an internal plural, "territories".
