- TEXT Eskoubi: bnmt rather than b{s²}mt. TRANSLATION {f}ʿl {n}k, Kootstra: '(he) engaged in battle'.
- Commentary
- Text is written between two drawings of horned animals and curves up at the end to avoid the horns of the lower one. The s² and the n are much thicker and cruder than the rest. The reading is from left-to-right.
