Twitter user @Salhimeel has recently published a Thamudic D inscription from the region of Ranyah.
The vertical text reads:
drm ḥbb bnt nqm
Drm loves the daughter of Nqm
Amorous texts such as these are very common in the Thamudic D script type. It is impossible to date this text in precise terms, but one Thamudic D text is dated by association with a Nabataean inscription to 267 CE. It remains unclear how early Thamudic D texts can date or when the script eventually went extinct.
