Abstract:
The carvings presented here were discovered during the second (2017) field season of the Badia Epigraphic Survey (BES), in Wādī Swīʿad, which is located in al-Ḥarrah approximately 34 km to the southeast of aṣ-Ṣafawī (H5) and stretches for 13 km and is approximately 820 meters above sea level. This article presents some exa-mples of Rock Art that appear next to the inscriptions and provide us with two new personal names (grmry and hnʾmt), as well as with new Safaitic verb (ḫwr "he became weak or feeble" and wyl "Woe to!") and the adverb dhr (dahran "forever").
