Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 450) commented: "The text is written in three lines one below the other. Several of the letters are doubtful. Part of the first ʿ is covered by a chip and there is no letter visible after it. The bn and third ʿ are extremely faint and written slightly below the other letters of the second line. The l of the third name is curved and the two rounded lines of the m are not joined. Part of the t is obscured by a chip. The bottom part of the last letter of the third name is very faint. The name ʿlṭ is not in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences at these sites".
