Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
KhMNS: Translation of nẓr mny "and watched fate" (wa šāhada 'l-munā)
Commentary
nẓr might be an error on the part of the author or the copyist for an intend tẓr. The formula, w tẓr mny "and he awaited fate", is very common, while nẓr mny only occurs once in KRS 2833. This inscription is found on the same rock and very close to the drawing described in Associated Drawings.
