SIJ 698: ʾʿb{d} for ʿbs¹.
Commentary
Parts of two of the series of 7 dots running around SIJ 697 pass through 698. Thus there are three dots between the first and second letters another (read by SIJ and WH as an ʿ) between the second and third two between the third and fourth letters and three around the fourth itself. The final b is not visible on the photograph.
