Interpretation

Commentary
Area A. The letters after ʾs¹d a straight line with a curve at one end followed by a shorter straight line have been linked by part of the drawing of a horse on an adjacent face of the stone as can be seen from the different colour of the letters and the drawing. There are various stray lines around the letters of the final name. Associated drawing to be numbered (2).
