LP 463: s²ġʿ for s²gʿt
Commentary
On the same face as LP 464. It seems that the author of LP 464 drew the picture but that the author of this inscription (LP 463) then appropriated the credit for the drawing and rendered the original author's name unrecognizable. In view of this, it seems likely that the author of LP 464 used the end of of 463 (t h- frs¹) as the end of his own inscription.

Associated Drawings
A drawing of a horse (according to the inscriptions) with some thing that looks like a bow on its tail.
