after ʾlwd-hmy there might be only one proper name (which is not unusual in Late Sabaic inscriptions), or even a blank space.

Garbini ʿḏ[rm]; the integration ks³[ḥ]m is based on Ibrahim al-Hudayd 1/10. On the basis of that inscription, we can also suggest an integration of ʾmn as following word, like Beeston 1980 a: 21 had already thought. Jamme 1976 reads ʿḏrm ks³ḥ (mḫm)n.

Garbini reads: [ḏ-l-s¹b]ʿt ʿs²r w-[s¹ṯ mʾtm]; however, also: [ḏ-l-t]s¹ʿt is possible.

Beeston: qdmm ʿḏrm as "a first-born and succeding generations" and ks³ḥm as "clean > well-ordered". He also suggests an optional interpretation: "a pure life in both the near and the remote future". Jamme 1976, following his different reading, had suggested: "braves and young girls [who] were taken away from the nomads". Gajda 2004 a: 201, prefers: "<une vie> honorable ici-bas et au-délà".
