Translations:

1Hʿn ʾs²wʿ and his sons Krbʿṯt, 
2Ḥywm and Lḥyʿṯt, descendants of Ydm dedicated 
3to their Patron Tʾlb Rymm, Master of Trʿt, this 
4statue, as Tʾlb had ordered His servants, the banū 
5Ydm in His oracle, for their safety and the safety 
6of the children Tʾlb Rymm granted them in the 
7house of banū Ydm, and the safety of their servants; and as for them, they 
8praised the power and the authority of Tʾlb Rymm, because 
9He gratified them with all the help they sought from Him 
10and because He saved them in all the military 
11expeditions they carried out when following their lord ʿlhn Nh- 
12fn descendant of Btʿ and Hamdān; and may Tʾlb grant 
13them the crops of the spring and autumn season in their 
14land and their fields, and may Tʾlb grant them 
15good harvests and crops in their land and their 
16fields, and may He grant them the goodwill of their lords, banū 
17Hamdān and their tribe Ḥs²dm, and may (He) humiliate, destroy 
18and defeat all their enemies and rivals, and anyone who will bear malice 
19towards them, by Tʾlb Rymm.
