Interpretation

Commentary
On the same small stone as RR 1, 2 and 3. This text starts at the right side, above 3, running from right-to-left. But half way across the face it turns up and runs back to the right edge where it turns left and runs along the top of the face to the left edge where it turns down. The translation is that in Al-Jallad 2015: 276.
