Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Knauf: ʿbt for nʿrt and wṯm rather than wgm. DISCUSSION King (1990: 636) commented: "Jamme (1983: 188) is correct in the reading of the second name. The n is clear on the rock". Knauf (1980: 171) reads as Safaitic.
Commentary
Labelled as KnEG 3 in King (1990: 636).
