NotesThis text was recorded as coming from Al-Firʿ (Haram). Robin did not include it among Haram's inscriptions in the first volume of the Inventaire des Inscriptions Sudarabiques.
The goddess ḏt Ns²q is never attested in the Haramite corpus; however, this might be one of the few texts from Haram of period B (see the names of the Minaean kings), when the cult of the goddess was spread in the Minaic Jawf (see also M 17).
