Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 282) commented: "On the left side of the rock. The reading is doubtful and the interpretation uncertain. The first four letters are either completely or partially covered by a recent drawing of a stick animal. The y has been left out of the second name and added afterwards to one side. If the above interpretation is correct the text is unfinished. For this type of love inscription, see Ch.4.E.2".
