🖋The translation of the Namara Inscription (328) is sometimes disputed.
Here's an another possible translation: This phrase has been read by Dusad as: "‘ "ملك العرب كلهking of all Arabs”. If we deal with The Namara Inscription as a classical Arabic text this reading cannot be grammatically right. The word ‘ عربArabs’ is feminine while the pronoun (h) in the word كلهwhich refers to the Arabs is masculine. This contradiction forces us to look for another reading that could settle the gender contradiction. The only one who seriously tried to challenge Dusad’s reading of the word ‘ العربArabs’ was Kropp. He suggested that the word could be read with gh ‘ الغربthe west’ but without noticing the gender problem in the phrase. This was an interesting suggestion. But it needs some kind of fixing. Instead of understanding the word to mean ‘the west’ I suggest that it means: ‘the border’. In Arabic the edge and the border line of everything is called: الغرب،الغراب. So the word could be read as alghurab or algharb: the border. If this is right, then Umruʾū Al-Qays was the king of all of the border area around Namara not the king of all Arabs. Therefore the inscription might be referring to the Roman border line in Syria: Limes Arabicus. Find out more in "The Namara Inscription and the Roman Limes Arabicus" Z.
