GENERAL NOTES
| In RES 3902 N° 150+CIAS 95.11/p 9 n° 1, completely similar for palaeographic style, the same Ḏrʾkrb bn Ḥyw is probably mentioned. Also on the basis of this comparison, we cannot exclude, contrary to what Hayajneh maintains, that the text is not complete and the object of dedication is missing. |

CULTURAL NOTES
As in Qatabanic ʿbd is often followed by a king's name, Ḏrʾkrb could be a member of the royal family (see RES 3854 where a Ḏrʾkrb is the father of the king S²hr Hll).
