BES20 272

Interpretation

Commentary: The beginning of the inscription is unclear in the photographs. There seems to be a partial cartouche, followed by a vertical line (read as the lam auctoris). fn{y}: Following the n, there is another short vertical line, but this has been read as damage on the stone. The final letter is partially concealed by damage on the stone. The letter seems to be a long vertical line, with a three-pronged fork on the end, resembling a ḏ. The left or middle prong seems likely to be damage upon the stone, however, which would give the more common name fny. The full hook of the y is concealed by the damage. {b}{n}: The apparent b is long with a very shallow curve. The following letter appears to be a long vertical line, which is almost certainly a n. The letter is greatly different in size to the n of fny.
