Interpretation

Commentary: The text has been carelessly carved and has suffered some additions and other damage. It enclose in a circular cartouche. It seems possible that the circle after the first name was originally a small bnin which the letters were later joined up, However, if this is the case the letters would have been considerably smaller than any of the others in the text. The next bn appears to have been omitted. The fourth name is odd but it is difficult to see how else it could be read. In the next name the second letter is a straight line with a small horizontal stroke at one end which we have taken to be a r. If the final letter of the last name is a l as would be expected, it must be the shortish straight line touching the d at the end of AAWHA 51.1.
