The first part of l.1 is inscribed on the face of the altar opposed to the one with the spout; the inscription then continues on the leftward face.

Robin reads mʾlm "hall for the banquet". In the Jawf, the ritual banquet was celebrated for the god ʿṯtr ḏ-Ḏbn in the sanctuary on the Jebel al-Lawḏ, where some dedications to S¹mʿ were also found. However, as the reading of the second letter is uncertain and could be a "s¹", it is highly possible that the object of the dedication refers to the offering table itself, "ms¹lm".

ḏ-Frʿ seems to be to a new epithet of the god S¹mʿ, but it cannot be excluded that it is verb in a relative clause.

The god S¹mʿ is attested in the Minaic inscriptions only three times: in this inscription, in as-Sawdāʾ 91 and in YM 10598. It is the god of the Sabaic settlements in the Jawf and it was also venerated at Inabbaʾ.
