Translation Notes:
3Contrary to Arbach's translation, rḥbn and brkn must be considered as plurals.
4"ʿqrm en abondance" (Arbach). Our translation with a generic "land", referring to Beeston et al. 1982: 18, seems to fit better the context, in respect to "partie postérieure du réservoir" as suggested for MAFYS-Ḍuraʾ 3, 6-7, 10.
The meaning is based on Ar ʿaqār "land yielding revenues", especially palm-trees (on this term, see Avanzini 1978: 60-64).
5"les parois (?) qui avaient été détruites; quant à l'espace ouvert" (Arbach).
