3 The Dating and Authors of the Inscriptions The chronological limits of Safaitic documentation are unknown. Most estimates in the literature place the inscriptions somewhere between the 1st c. BCE and the 4th c. CE. This periodization is based on the fact that the political events mentioned in the Safaitic inscriptions date to the Nabataean and Roman periods.

Clark edits 1197 texts from the Jordanian panhandle, on the H5 and H4, north of al-Wisād. Three dissertations on Safaitic, written under the direc-tion of R. Voigt, have been published by the series Semitica et Semitohamitica Berolinensia (SSHB): AAEK, AbaNS, and RSIS. Each of these contains an introduction, an analytical section dealing with cultural context of the texts, and a few remarks on grammar, along with an edition of previously unpublished texts and a glossary. While two volumes—AAEK and RSIS—contain photographs, these are usually of such low quality that it is often impossible to scrutinize the reading properly.
