This new text contains a reference to a person who was protecting Palmyrenes and helping them in following the traces of something (probably a caravan). It contains the verb qyf and the tribal name mslq which have not been recorded in the published Safaitic inscriptions yet. The paper includes a discussion of al-qiyāfah “following the traces” among the Arabs, and the Palmyrene caravans as attested in the published inscriptions and the historical sources.
