Inscription of ʿUmar ibn Ṭarīf
نقش عمر بن طريف
Wādī al-Abyaḍ
- اللهم لك الحمد غفر الله لعمر بن طريف
- بن الحرث ولأنس بن سلمة المنبهي ولولديه (ولوالديه)
- ولأصحبه (ولأصحابه) ولمغرة (المغيرة؟) بن سعد أمين
- وكتب في ذي القعدة من سنة أربع وسبعين
O God, praise be to You. May God forgive ʿUmar ibn Ṭarīf ibn al-Ḥārith, and Anas ibn Salamah al-Munabbihī, and his parents, and his companions, and Mughīrah(?) ibn Saʿd. Āmīn. And [this] was written in Dhū al-Qaʿdah of the year seventy-four.
A collective prayer of forgiveness naming several people at once — ʿUmar ibn Ṭarīf and his companions — rather than a single individual, unusual among the shorter inscriptions in this corpus. The reading of "Mughīrah" is uncertain (marked with a query in the original publication) since the letters could also be construed differently in this undotted hand.
