Edition by M. C. A. Macdonald.
This text appears to have been carved at 180° to no. 3.
The penultimate letter is like an Ancient North Arabian h. It is upside down in relation to the other letters of the text and its arms are joined to the m of no. 3 immediately above it. The verticals of the final s¹ appear to have been extended upwards.
