Commentary
Additions have been made to most of the first fifteen letters of the inscription to make them into other letters and two additional signs have been added before the låm auctoris. The altered text reads ls¹lmmdmqdmṣʾmzmd. The fourth name has been partially obscured by later hammering and it is not clear whether it too has been altered though one line of the m is appreciably broader than the rest of the letter.
