Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 343) commented: "Written down from between the legs of an ibex. Probably s¹ʿd drew the ibex as the technique of the inscription and drawing are similar and the position of the inscription between the legs of the animal is a common place for artists to write their names".
