Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 617) commented: "Jobling (1986: 243) reads d yzng(?) and translates ‘This is yzng’. The d in the edition is probably a misprint for ḏ, although I would prefer to read the letter as ḥ. The fourth letter is not a z, although, again, this might be a printing mistake for ẓ, which would be a possibility. I think, however, the letter is more likely to be a badly formed b. The ʾ and n at the end are not entirely clear on the photograph".
