Interpretation
- Commentary
- The ḍ has the form of a ṭ as is known from a few other inscriptions. It is not known whether this represents a variant in pronunciation, a graphic variant, or a mistake by the author. The author carved a y rather than a -h for the last letter.
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 10 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
