King (1990: 271) commented: "Written vertically, starting between the legs of an ibex. The name is not in Harding 1971. It is possible the third letter should be read as r and it and the following ṣ as a metathesis of nṣrlh, a name that occurs elsewhere at these sites, see KJC 27, 468, 525. Mistakes do occur in the inscriptions, see Ch.3.B.10".
