Interpretation

- The inscription was made by scraping the dark surface of the sandstone to produce the letters. Exactly the opposite technique can be seen the text below, where the sandstone surface has been scraped to leave only the letters with the dark patina, an extremely skilful method which is the equivalent of carving in relief. Line 2. The first sign in line 2 differs from the two examples of s² which follow. It may be a wasm or an apotropaic sign.
