Text Information

Siglum
MKMR 5
Transliteration
l mʿ{{l}}{{l}} bn yṯʿt ----
Translation
By {Mʿll} son of Yṯʿt ----

Interpretation

Commentary
A hammered dot has been added to one end of the second l. The next letter might originally have been a l to which a hammered dot has been added at either end or a y to which one hammered dot has been added. If the latter is the case then the name would read mʿly. There is a further letter to the left of the t which might be a h and it is possible the inscription continues under an incrustation on the rock.
