1 ʿmkrb, servant of the family Bḥḍm, dedicated 2 to Tʾlb Rymm, the Lord of ʿdf, the tablet 3 as he promised to Him, in order that He saves him 4 from the wars and the razzias of the Arabs, of the region 5 of the East. And Tʾlb saved and delivered 6 His servant ʿmkrb; might Tʾlb continue 7 to save and protect His servant ʿmkr- 8 b from the war and the evil, for his safety 9 and the safety of the owners of their house and good 10 crops in the land of their lords. |
