- Commentary
- The inscription is written around the edge of the rock which is very damaged. The third ʾ in the author's transliteration is a mistake for y which is clear in the copy. The letters read by the author after the second z probably belong to another text which starts below the third m of MDT 4. MDT 4 might continue near the edge of the rock but it is difficult to distinguish any letters because of the abrasions on the rock.
