Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 252: mlk for <<>>mlk; reads 252.1 as a continuation of this text.
Commentary
The b and the n of the second bn are touching but a second n seems to have been written immediately after it. Contra Winnett's commentary the letters which he reads as the second part of this text (shown in the published copy W 223 on p. 44) are visible on Harding's photograph (shown on SIJ pl. IV) but are clearly part of different inscription (SIJ 252.1).
