Interpretation

Commentary
The text incised, and in places chiselled, below MKTF 13. The b and n of bn have been carved touching each other and some of the letters in the last word(s) have been damaged. It seems impossible to read bkrtn here.

Provenance
At the top of one face of a large outcrop

Associated Drawings
There is what could be a very crudely drawn ostrich at the end of the text and many drawings of animals all over the face.
