Interpretation

Commentary
The text is carved diagonally below the camel to the left of the end of MKTF 16. It is just possible that the text continues vertically upwards above the last two letters of the second name with {h-} {g}{m}{l}, but this is extremely uncertain.

Provenance
At the top of one face of a large outcrop

Associated Drawings
Many drawings of animals all over the face.
