Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is written above a drawing of camel suckling its calf [KhU 85 d]. The stone is broken at the right end of the text and at the top (photograph 42.1). However the latter piece was found and replaced (photograph 42.2) showing the tops of the last two letters and part of the neck of the camel .
