Abstract

ABSTRACT This contribution edits a newly discovered Paleo‐Arabic inscription from Wādī al‐Šuwayṭī in the northeastern Jordanian Ḥarrah. The inscription is dated to the reign of a king called ʾmndr , identified by the authors as the Jafnid ruler Al‐Mundhir III ibn al‐Harith. Some remarks on its implications about Arab rulership and identity are also offered.
