Commentary
The translation here is that of Al-Jallad 2015: 152, 166–167, 222. However, it should be noted that a statement referring to something which does not explicitly involve the author ("and Nepos who was oppressive faced a rebellion for three years") is extremely rare in the Safaitic inscriptions.
