Abstract
In this paper, we highlight a remarkable compilation of Ancient North Arabian (ANA) “Safaitic” inscriptions discovered in the Jordanian Badia, specifically in Wādī Swīʿad and the al-Wādī al-Abyyaḍ. Through thorough analysis and comparison with published inscriptions and other Semitic languages, we uncover an array of personal names and diverse terms. These inscriptions vividly portray the daily customs and beliefs of the inhabitants, offering a valuable glimpse into the intriguing realms of their religious and social spheres. This study underscores the significance of conducting additional survey efforts to record more inscriptions, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the culture of early inhabitants in the region during the first centuries CE. It also sheds light on the development of the Jordanian Badia throughout various time periods
