Commentary
The rock appears to be damaged between the first and second m. The edition mentions that the letters from the second h might be a separate text and it seems quite possible that that is the case as they are inscribed in a different way and written slightly above the second m. It is not altogether clear how the editor is translating "mʿmr" . See also H 677.
