1S²mr Ykb, of the family Ws²km, dedicated 2to ʾlmqh ḏ-Hrn this tablet, 3because He granted him in 4His oracle, and because He may continue to 5grant him in the oracle which he asks 6from Him; and because He conceded 7him an excellent slaughter from the tribe 8Nbs²m; and for increasing to him abundance 9of faculty and might, and the goodwill of his 10lord Yṯʿm ibn Mrṯdm.
Translation Notes:
9rḍy "goodwill"; the parallel form rḍw is present in other texts from ʿAmrān (e.g. CIH 77, 9) and it is the only form attested outside the high plateau.
