GENERAL NOTES

See MIbb 7 for a slightly later palaeographic style. Despite the different museum number this fragment could be part of the same inscription together with MIbb 74 and, perhaps, MIbb 73. All the inscriptions on bronze housed in the Museum of Ibb coming from the jabal al-ʿAwd are published on CSAI under the authority of GOAM. The publication rights are retained by DAI.

Apparatus
The interpretation of the terms, even the onomastic ones, is rather difficult because of the fragmentary state of the text.
