Interpretation
- Commentary
- b{n}: No clear line visible to represent the n, but faint scratch marks are visible following the b. {y}ṯ{ʿ}: The bottom of the first letter is concealed by abrasion. The top of the letter is a fork, with possibly a line joining the two prongs. It is not possible to know whether the bottom fork of the letter is joined. The final letter is very faint and does not seem to be joined on one side, but given the context, it is almost certainly ʿ, forming the deity name Yṯʿ. f----: The f is followed by an area of heavy abrasion that obscures the rest of the inscription. The letter that seems to follow f has a stem and perhaps a hook above the abrasion. There may be a line visible after this letter.
