Inscription of ʿUmayr ibn Abī Muslim

نقش عمير بن أبي مسلم

Wādī Malkān

  1. اللهم اغفر لابن
  2. الشهيد عمير
  3. بن أبي مسلم آمين
  4. وكتب سنة
  5. ثمنين (ثمانين)

O God, forgive the son of the martyr, ʿUmayr ibn Abī Muslim. Āmīn, and it was written in the year eighty.

ʿUmayr identifies himself specifically as the son of a martyr (ibn al-shahīd) rather than naming his father directly — the prayer is for himself, framed through his father's status. The text carries no diacritical dots at all, consistent with many inscriptions of this early period.
