Commentary
Ed. pr. says that the rock is limestone but it looks more like basalt on the photograph. The second letter of the second name looks very like a l and is quite different from the the r of {n}rn. Cf. SIT 32 where the second letter of the name is a clear l and quite different from b and r in the same text. The first n of nrn is more of a large dot than a line and so the reading is not certain and the inscription clearly continues after the r of the name with a clear n.
