Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
AKSD: rʿy kry "shepherd for hire" for ----{rʿ}y ---ry ;
Commentary
On a slab of limestone. The stone has been broken across the middle and the two sections were registered separately. The reading is difficult in several places, in particular the first r (if that is what it is) is extremely doubtful as the form of the letter is two sides of a triangle and is a completely different shape from the second r.
