▪ Jeffery1938: »Nöldeke as early as 18601 drew attention to the fact that the noun saṭr seemed to be a borrowing from [Syr] šᵊṭārā = [Aram] šᵊṭrā,2 so that the verb, as Fraenkel, Fremdw, 250, notes, would be denominative. The Aram šᵊṭrā = [Syr] šᵊṭārā means a ‘document’, and is from a root connected with Akk šaṭāru ‘to write’. It occurs as šṭr in Nab and Palm inscriptions,3 and in the SAr inscriptions we have sṭr ‘to write’, and ʔsṭr ‘inscriptions’.4 D. H. Müller, WZKM, i, 29, thinks that the Ar may have been influenced both by the Aramaeans of the north, and the Sabaeans of the south, and as a matter of fact as-Suyūṭī, Itq, 311, tells us that Ǧuwaybir in his comment on 17:58, quoted a tradition from Ibn ʕAbbās to the effect that masṭūr was the word used in the Ḥimyaritic dialect for maktūb.5 The presence of the Phlv stūrē, as, e.g., in the phrase ???? = ‘in lines’ (PPGl, 205), makes us think, however, that it may have been Aramaic influence which brought the word to SArabia.6 In any case the occurrence of the word in the early poetry shows that it was an early borrowing.«
