LP 448: nw{y h}dr for nwy ṯd{w}.
Commentary
Area A. Parts of the text and the drawing have been hammered over but all the letters are clear on the stone. The curving line drawn under the ḥ does not belong to the text. After ṯd there is a partly preserved letter which could possibly be a b d w or g. Perhaps ṯd{w} which could be related to Ar. ṯudāʾ “a certain plant [growing ] in the desert ”[Lane 334a]. The text is enclosed in a scratched cartouche. nwy could be nwq (pl. of nqt) (M & Mu) Associated drawing to be numbered.
