Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is carved on a limestone bowl with short handles at the base and (broken off) at the rim: diameter at the rim is 16 cms, at the base is 12 cms, and it is 9.5 cms high. It starts at the top of the outer side of the bowl, immediately after the end of Damascus Museum 21039.3 (AKSJ 1.2.2) and runs to the right until it meets the end of Damascus Museum 21039.6 (= AKSJ 1.1.1), whereupon it turns upwards.
