BES20 158

Interpretation

Commentary: [l]: The section of stone bearing first part of the inscription seems to have broken away. Alternatively, the inscription might start on the face of the stone that is hidden. It is not clear how much of the inscription is missing. The reading assumes that only the lām auctoris is missing. wḏ{l}: The first letter is either a ʿ or a w. The third letter of the name is probably a n as the line is approximately the length of the n of the bn next to it. Below the letter is a small hole with an extraneous mark below it.
