Translations:
1ʿms²fq and ʾlʿz 2and ʾlḏrʾ and Rʾb 3sons of Ḥmʿṯt, 4the one (?) of S²bm, 5dedicated to ʿṯtr 6ḏ-Grb the altar, 7when they established property rights 8over the possessions of their brother 9Ḥḏmr ḏ- 10Frs³n, and they committed to 11ʿṯtr their children; 12at the time of ʾlmnbṭ 13Ydʿ.
Translation Notes:
4In Fr-Ṣanʿāʾ 6, Frantsouzoff considers ḏy as a rare form of the singular pronoun. While there we cannot exclude that the pronoun could be considered as dual, referring to the author and her husband, in this case it should be either plural (referring to the four authors) or indeed singular (referring to their patronymic).
