Abstract:
This study examines two newly discovered Safaitic inscriptions from the Jordanian Badia, documented during the Badia Epigraphic Survey (BES) field project. It analyzes the verbs mḫr and s²ry, interpreting their meanings within their cultural context. The study outlines the BES project's methodology for documentation and interpretation. It also discusses the inscriptions' rela-tionship to their landscape and the project's role in heritage preservation. The research highlights the importance of collaboration among scholars and institutions in documenting, publishing, and interpreting such inscriptions. Finally, the study argues that making these inscriptions accessible to researchers, will deepen our understanding of pre-Islamic Arab culture and social practices in the Jordanian Badia and surrounding regions.
