Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NAID I pp. 55-56: ḥ{l}d for the first name. The l is very close to the ḥ and was either omitted and squeezed in later or is simply a stray scratch in which case the name would be ḥd.
Commentary
The third letter is a rather long line and it seems quite likely it is extraneous. All the inscriptions are surrounded by a cartouche.
