Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 262) commented: "The text is written curving to the left, it is extremely faint. The s¹ is on the edge of the rock and, most probably, at least an initial l was written on the part that has since broken away. The b of bn and the d of ḥmdt are very faint. There is a l to the left of the end of the text".
