Interpretation

Commentary
SESP.S 5–13 are on the broad, vertical face of a large boulder. This text runs down between SESP.S 9 and the drawing of the camel. The fifth name has been damaged by hammering but can be reconstructed on the basis of SESP.S 12.

Associated Signs
Cartouche surrounding SESP.S 9–10, 12 and the drawings
Associated Drawings
A camel drawn above the inscription but within the cartouche
Associated Inscriptions
SESP.S 5–9, 11–13
