Interpretation
- Commentary
- The fork of the h is crossed by a line of lighter patina. The letters r b in the last two names are joined by proximity making them look like a m. But in both cases the semi-circle of the b protrudes beyond the hooks of the r. After the ʾ the text runs onto a different surface and the letters do not show up well. There seems to be one more letter after the b of the last name.
