Interpretation

Commentary
Area A. The last word has been vansalized: a loop has been added to the h to change it into a ṣ a sprong has been added to the b to change it into a ḥ and the final t has been partly hammered over. As the authors of two other texts written on the same face of the stone claim h- bkrt (L 122 and 124) it is impossible to determine who drew the camel. Associated drawing to be numbered.
