- King (1990: 333) commented: "The inscription is written on several faces of the rock. For the vocative and the type of prayer, see Ch.3.C.8 and 4.C.3. s¹b cf. Ar. sayb ‘gift, benefaction’ and Sab. syb ‘gift’ (Beeston et al. 1982: 130). The text ends with a nominal sentence similar in structure to the frequently used phrase w N ḫṭṭ brr, cf. Ar. barr (originally barir (Lane 176a)) ‘dutiful, pious’".
