Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 5. Abū l-Ḥasan: ʾṭll for ʾẓll.
Commentary
The inscription is very damaged. It is broken on the right and the left side and at the top. Line 9. It seems that whoever carved the inscription suddenly found himself without enough space at the end of this line and squeezed in the remaining letters as best he could.
