Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 360 read only ʿẓm for g{r}m.
Commentary
The beginning of the text was cut by the edge of Winnett's photograph, which is probably why he read only the last name. There is a small mark to the left of the top of the r in the second name, but this is thinner than the line of the rest of the letter and is probably extraneous. There are no letters between the final m and the apparent w behind the she-ass and the latter may be part of the drawing.
