Notes:Of the text preserved in this squeeze, only Lines 5-15 are legible, and then only partially. Since the initial part of the inscription is missing (and seems to have been so at the time when the squeeze was made), the identity of the dedicants are unknown--save only that it is clear from the historical context and the provenance of the inscription that they were of Sabaean extraction. That there were several dedicants is evident from the verb hqnyw "they granted", which appears here in the 3rd person masculine plural.
