NotesThe formula tqdmw w-ḥrg "directed and supervised" is found in construction texts coming from the territories lying south-west of Timnaʿ, i.e. from wādī al-Jūba to wādī Ḥarīb (see RES 3552, RES 3553 and RES 4328 and the recently published text Cox 4).
A provenance of RES 4095 from those areas is also confirmed by the final invocation, where Ḥwkm is probably mentioned before ḏt Ṣntm, fact which seems exclude the capital Timnaʿ as origin of the inscription.
