","Since the personal pronouns in lines 7–10 are in the dual, the two broken lines at the beginning of the inscription must have contained two names, probably one male (if our restoration of [b]n is correct) and one female. In addition, the fact that nothing is missing on the left side of lines 3-10 allows us to surmise that this part of the stone had its present shape at the time the text was incised. Indeed, although, unfortunately, no photographs have been published of the top of the ""pillar"" on which the inscription has been incised, it seems highly likely that it was an incense altar and this would then provide the meaning of the word mḥrw (see the discussion in Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2017), that is an ""incense altar"" rather than ""incense-rituals"", as suggested in Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2017.
