Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription runs across two separate sections of the stone, with a large crack separating the inscription into three parts. There are no letters immediately after ʾẓmy, but it seems that the inscription continues immediately above the first part of the inscription, on the right-hand side of the crack. It is not clear why the author did not continue in one continuous line.
