Interpretation
- Commentary
- This was published as WH 1760 a and 1760 b. The text starts immediately above WH 1761, but then turns onto a adjacent face, where some of the letters have been vandalized and it is difficult to make sense of the rest. What WH read as the m of gṯm (WH 1760 a) is almost certainly an extraneous mark and there is another to the left of the final letters of the text,
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 23 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
