Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- SIJ 353: mfny for mġny; ḥ{n}{n} for ḥnn.
- Commentary
- The text is written vertically on a rock face and below line 2 there is the beginning of a Kufic graffito not published in Baramki 1964 (BNAS). Comparison of the third letter with the f introducing the prayer shows that the former cannot be a f and must be a ġ. The n's of ḥnn are clear on the photograph used for SIJ Pl. V and it is not clear why Winnett marked them as uncertain.
