Summary/Abstract: This paper sheds light on a new Ancient North Arabian (Safaitic) inscription that makes mention of the famous Nabataean Damaṣî. This is the fourth known Safaitic inscription to contain a reference to Damaṣî; the paper makes a comparison of the appearances of Damaṣî in the known corpus and evaluates the historical context. The significance of this inscription lies in its description of the author waiting (nẓr) for Damaṣî.
