Interpretation
- Commentary
- Both ms in the third name are absolutely clear on the photograph and unless it is a compound name yqm mgr (which is unlikely) the author seems to have omitted the bn. Yqmm is unattested but is presumably derived from the root qmm.
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 16 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
