Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Jaussen & Savignac followed by van den Branden and Eskoubi: ʾḫw for ʾtw; Jaussen & Savignac: b gmʿ rather than b fgʿ. TRANSLATION Winnett: 'His mark. Ibn Fāgiʿ'.
Commentary: Despite the stance of the g, a reading from right to left produces known names and seems therefore more satisfactory. The letter g faces in the opposite direction.
