Interpretation
- Commentary
- The first b and second n are faint. One fork of the fourth ʾ is rather uncertain and it is possible the letter should be read as a ṣ. The following n is rather short. Part of the photograph is out of focus making the reading of the fourth y, the fourth w, and the third ʿ rather uncertain. For the interpretation see Al-Jallad 2015: 255, 307, 313, 318, 329
