Interpretation

Commentary
This text is numbered between three texts (WH 2818, 2820, and 2820.1) which are one face and it is not clear if WH 2819 is on another face of the same rock or has been numbered between the others by accident. Most of the letters have had ligatures added or have been hammered over in parts.

Provenance
WH Cairn 22 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
