1Whblt of Ydʿʾl and Ḥṣ[...]ʾt 2of Ḏmrʿly and Ġwṯlt of Ṣrb and Qylm 3son of Mtʿʾl and Kfy son of Mṣwnm were the men who 4accompanied and gave service to Abīyathaʿ son of Dhamarʿalī chief 5of the troops of Ḥaḍramawt when they made of Sumhuram a city 6in the Saʾakalān land and carried with him as colonists three groups of ḥṯy 7from when they divided until they returned to Shabwa.
Translation Notes:
6-7Avanzini 2008 a (following her new reading: ʾhṯym): "And along with him emigrated three groups of ʾhṯym since they divided until they were called back to Shabwa".
"There is a second possible translation of this difficult passage which can be taken from the context but with no etymological basis for ʾhṯym: "he inhabited the city with him for three 'periods', from when he left to when he came back to Shabwa"".
6-7Frantsouzoff (reading the key-word as ʾḥṯym):"and (he) brought with him as colonists a lot of people, since they separated until they expanded in abundance".
P. 143: "It is attractive to assume that the Hadramitic expression s²lṯt ʾḥṯym is a strict equivalent of the Arabic ṯalāṯu ḥaṯayātin (attested in some ḥadīth of Muḥammad, Ed.), which means "a lot of people"".
