Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Jobling: ḏ dd rather than {ḥ}dd. DISCUSSION Corbett (2010: 314) commented: "Most of the inscriptions on this large boulder are concentrated around a drawing of a horse and rider (a1) that occurs on the right side of the stone’s upper face. The ḥ of PN2 has been added to in a later period to resemble an animal. The characters d and d of PN2 were carved out of alignment with the rest of the text. There are two unrelated marks to the left of the inscription. The ḥ of PN2 has been added to in a later period to resemble an animal.
