Commentary
This text is on a face adjoining that with WH 1762, but does not seem to have been connected with it by WH when publishing the inscriptions. The letters are clear on the photograph.

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.
