Interpretation
- Commentary
- The part of the stone bearing the first part of inscription has broken off and the interpretation here is offered tentatively. {ʿ}m: The first letter appears very much like a w. Upon close inspection, the apparent left hand side of the circle could actually be unrelated marks on the stone. This would lead to the interpretation of the letter as a ʿ.
