AbaNS 362: gwd for ʿwd
Commentary
There is a cartouche surrounding the inscription. The second letter is two concentric circles and it is uncertain how it should be read. The reading as ʿ is doubtful as the other ʿ in the text is a single circle. There is no evidence that two concentric circles should be read as a g as in the edition. It is possible it should be read as a ḍ however the name ḍwd is not attested in HIn.
