Commentary
The copy in ThNSSMAS has a possible r and t under the drawing but it is difficult to read any letters on that part of the rock in the photograph although there are traces of letters. Under the r b and n there appears to be the letters nnt but it is difficult to know where they belong whether they are part of another inscription or part of this one.
