And ʿbd son of S¹yr [the] horse

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 205) commented: "The text starts under the belly of the horse and then curves round below the front legs and up. There is very little space between the front of the horse and the edge of the rock. For this type of formula referring to drawings, see Ch.4.B.3. For other occurrences of ʿbd bn s¹yr, see Index a".
