Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 3. Abū l-Ḥasan does not read this line. It can be recognised on the photograph.
Commentary
Several letters are badly incised therefore they cannot be interpreted. Line 1. This line is not aligned with those below them. It seems that nothing is missing at the end of this line. That would show that the stone had its present shape at the time the inscription was incised.
