Translations:
1Zdlh [.....] performed [this ẓll-ceremony] 2[.......] this 3[......] ḏ-Ġbt at Khl 4for the sake of his crops of the season of later rains in Ḏʿ- 5mn and so favour him and his descendants.
Translation Notes:
2The relationship of the first word to the demonstrative adjective ḏh at the end of the line is uncertain. The first word looks like h- rbġ (cf. Arabic rabaġ "abundance of the good things of life" ?), but it is difficult to see how this can relate to the verb which immediately precedes it.
4Due to a damage of the rock face, the translation of the firs word hrb is unclear.
5For the translation of dṯʾ see Macdonald.
