Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 402) commented: "On the top left hand of the rock. The first name is written down the rock, the inscription then turns right and the second name is written up the rock. The k is written with two arms facing in the opposite direction to that in which the text reads. cf. KJC 264, which is also written by drs¹ bn ḍḥk, where the ḥ of ḍḥk is written contra the stance of the other letters".
