Interpretation

Commentary
ʿb{t}: The final letter seems to consist of one long line with a short line intersecting it in the centre. A reading of t has been given due to the basic shape, but it is worth noting that the letter is much longer than one would expect. It is possible that the letter could be a q or even a d. Below BES20 43 there are two marks that look like a k and a ʿ. These two letters would not make sense as part of either BES20 42 or 43. As extraneous marks, they have not been included in either reading.
