Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 390) commented: "The initial w is an infilled circle with a cross in it. The r, the loop of the d and the ʿ have been filled in, see Ch.E.2. The final letter l is written in the opposite direction to other letters of the text. See Ch.4.B.2 for this formula used for the authorship of drawings. The ibex referred to is above the inscription".
