Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
KhMNS: Translation of frs¹ "horseman" for "horse(man)"
Commentary
Since there are two horsemen depicted in this drawing, one would expect frs¹n (the dual) in place of frs¹. The photograph published by KhS is rather small and it is impossible to determine if there is an n following the last word of this inscription. On the translation of frs¹, see the commentary of KhS 9. image not available
