Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
HSIL 2: Also isolated letters that might be tribal marks. JRWH p. 497 n. 7: l hg MNH p. 336: on Graf's views on the significance of the provenance of the inscription. MNH p. 304 n. 6: almost certainly a group of wusūm.
Commentary
It seems likely that all the signs on this rock are wusūm.
