Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription begins on a part of the stone that slightly protrudes from the 'main' face. The inscription then continues on the 'main' face. The author seems to be the father of the author of BES20 174, which is on the same stone. It is not clear whether the inscription originally continued on to an area of the stone that has broken away.
