AbstractThis paper investigates a two‐line unpublished Nabataean funerary inscription found in 2016 at Dhībān, 70 km south of Amman. The inscription, which is the first known Nabataean text from this site, represents a dedication of a funerary monument, a nefesh, by a person to his deceased son. The current study includes a word‐by‐word discussion of the text, offering remarks on its discovery as well as a linguistic analysis of its contents. A brief account of the Nabataean occupation at Dhībān is also provided.
