Interpretation
- Commentary
- Unfortunately the inscription was inked in white before it was photographed and this has obscured the reading. The last two letters of the second name which were not inked can be seen on the photograph. The sign before ʾs²rq which WH read as f is inaccurately represented on their facsimile and is probably a w though there are some unexplained additional lines around the letter.
