Interpretation

- SIJ 700: khl for {l}ʾ{n}; bʿ(ṭ) for bʿ{s¹}; nothing after rḍ{y}.
- Commentary
- The first letter of the third name has only a faint smudge to one side and so is probably l rarther than h while its third letter is a short stroken inscised over a long one hence n. There are another two inscriptions on the stone which have not been read by SIJ (700.1 and 700.2).
