JSTham 506.1

Interpretation

Commentary: Two (?) letters above and to the left of the last letter of JSTham 506. They were not copied by Jaussen & Savignac (1909–1920, ii), but were copied by Philby, and can be seen on the photograph. Note that the horizontal bar of the first letter is not joined to the left vertical. Note that there are two inscriptions labelled “at” on the plate showing Philby's copies (ibid. Pl. XI). The one which includes JSTham 506.1 is at the right hand end of the line beginning with “ap” and ”aq”, and it includes the sign to the right of the JSTham 506. We have labelled it “Philby 280 at 1”.

Associated Signs: Before the beginning, a trident with a dot below each prong.
