Interpretation
- Commentary
- {s¹}{l}{l}: The name s¹ll is offered as a very tenative reading of a section of the stone that is difficult to make sense of. The first letter seems to be composed of a long line diagonal line immediately following the n of bn. The top of the letter is obscured by damage. Underneath the damage the letter may potentially meet with the shorter diagonal line visible below the damaged section. This would give a V-shaped s¹. One cannot know for certain whether these lines form one letter or the shorter letter is an independent n or even possibly a ʿ. The following two letters seem to be two straight parallel lines, that have been read as two ls. The tops of the letters are abraded.
