Interpretation

Commentary
The second ʿ is not in the field copy and is not entirely certain in the photograph. There is a line after the y but it seems likely that it is one of a series of lines that have been scratched across the inscription between the lines of the cartouche that surrounds the inscription. Lane 867b: daraja "he went on foot; walked; walked leisurely slowly".
