In five cases, according to the Ptolemaic (?) Models, at a dating formula extended with a year of reign, so far without a relative or absolute dating was possible.
In addition, an extension of the grammar was given about aspects of morphology and syntax. The volume is based on 250 photographs of 128 Lihyanian texts taken by an expedition to Al-‘Udayb in Saudi Arabia in 1968. There are 96 major and 32 inscriptions, plus another 63 graffiti inscriptions published before.
All of them are rock inscriptions on two large blocks at the entrance to the gorge of Al-‘Udayb and on the walls of the gorge, only two are written on Stelai of unknown origin. While older interpretations explained the inscriptions as ritual texts, it was now demonstrated that they refer to irrigation measures.
The inscriptions consist of an introduction naming the donator, the text and an invocation formula. There are some 250 names of persons attested. The irrigation channels get cleaned, covered, and repaired, and lead towards agricultural areas owned by the authors.
The invocation occurs in nine variants, and is dedicated to the main god of dGbt. In five cases it is enlarged by a dating formula counting the years by certain anniversaries of regents, possibly after Ptolemaic (?) Examples. Nevertheless, neither a relative nor an absolute dating is possible at present. However, the grammar can be enriched by aspects of morphology and syntax.
