Interpretation
- Commentary
- {d}hʿr: The first letter is a straight line with a small filled-in circle in the centre on one side. It looks very much like a d, but the circle could possibly be damage. The name Dhʿr is unattested, but clear on the stone. n{s²}ʿl: The second letter of the name has fewer zigzags than one would usually expect, as the line is vertical at the top. Nevertheless, the letter is probably s² rather than f. The name is previously unattested, but seems to be an alternative version of ns²ʿʾl.
