| Summary: | This paper publishes two short Nabataean graffiti discovered in 2015 by the team of the OCIANA project at Tell al-ʿAbd and Marabb al-Shurafāʾ, in the ?arrah desert, north-eastern Jordan. Despite their brevity, these new texts appear of interest because the ?arrah is an area well outside that in which Nabataean inscriptions are normally found, bringing to twelve the number of known texts from that region, taking the Namārah epitaph into account. Consisting exclusively of onomastica, they contain some personal names already known among the settled and nomadic communities of southern Syria and northern Jordan as well as some new anthroponyms in the Nabataean onomasticon, notably smʿn, that may correspond to the Arab name Samʿān. |
