Abstract
This article focuses on an unpublished Hismaic (Thamudic E) inscription housed in the Amman Museum ( AMJ 2/J.14202), which was discovered in 1981 by W.J. Jobling in the area of Wādī Ramm, south-western Jordan. The text presents some interest for the study of the history and language of the nomadic tribes who lived in southern Transjordan and northern Arabia in antiquity, as it represents a rare example of an inscription carved by a woman and because it contains the first attestation, in Hismaic, of the feminine singular form of the relative pronoun ḏ.
