- Commentary
- The second letter is more like a b and the third is larger and presumably a r. From the photograph it seems clear that the letter after the second n is a y and then there appears to be a short line which is probably an l as the initial l is quite short. The following letter might be an ʾ but one prong is uncertain and then there appears to be a ṣ without a spine although one line is doubtful and it is possible it should be read as a y. The following two letters are only partially in the photograph and the w read by the publications does not appear to be there at all. The first of the partial letters has loop and a line and it might be a y or a ṯ it is unlikely to be a ṣ if the reading of a spineless ṣ is correct. The next letter is probably a d although part of the line is missing.
