Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 217) commented: "The text is written near the left edge of the rock. The reading is extremely doubtful. On circle of the g is uncertain and a part of the outer circle of the ḍ is faint whilst only traces of the inner circle remain. Half of the ḥ has chipped away. I have restored k afterwards on the basis of the name in KJA 101".
