Origin. Conjectural
Modern siteKamna
Ancient siteKmnhw
Geographical areaJawf - Wādī Madhab
CountryYemen
NotesThe origin from Kamna is conjectural. Halévy, and so the first editors, recorded the inscription as coming from as-Sawdāʾ. Instead, Avanzini sees in the names in l.1 two ancient kings of Kamna: ʿmyṯʿ and ʿms²fq. However, the first name is restored and there is no proof that these were kings of Kamna, as they are attested mainly in texts from Nashshān.
