Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- VEA.S: the copy incorrectly has bt instead of bn but the reading is correct. JMAA XIII p. 185: ls¹b for s¹b. w h lt s¹lm m- ḏ ḫrṣ w ʿwr ḏ yʿwr h s¹f{r} w ṣr "and O Lt [grant] safety from him who is on the lookout and render one-eyed him who would erase this writing. And he migrated".
- Commentary
- There is an apotropaic sign of seven lines on the same stone after the last word of the inscription. Jamme (JMAA XIII p. 185) seem to have misread the r of s¹fr as part of a separate word (s¹r) which does not seem to exist.
