Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jaussen & Savignac: mzn ḏ tqṭ rather than mznz tqṭ. Esk. 74: mzn zt qṭ "Mzn who wrote" DISCUSSION Hayajneh (2016: 162) commented: "The sign z for at the end of the first line can be considered as a variant of the relative pronoun 'who' (...). In the inscriptions from oasis of al-ʿUlā, this relative pronoun is written with the ḏ sign".
Commentary
The reading here follows that of Hayajneh.
