Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 460–461) commented: "Written above an ibex, the penultimate and final letters are separated by the animal’s neck. The third letter is a hammered circle and could be either an ʿ, w or r. I have read it as the latter, as there are no traces of a crossbar and the hammering which completes the letter seems to be shallower than the rest. The last letter has been hammered over".
