Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 321) commented: "It looks as if this author started a ns²rt prayer text (presumably to the goddess ʾlt) but quickly realized he did not have the room to either finish the goddess’s name (a small ridge in the surface clearly prevented the carving of the left fork of the letter alif) or complete the rest of the inscription. It is possible that the author started over with text #6".
