Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 356) commented: "While the opening vocative and request of this prayer text to ḏs²ry are clear, the entire second half of the text defies interpretation and has thus been left untranslated. There are several drawings to the right of the text, including an animal and a hunter with bow, which may or may not be related to the inscription".
