Interpretation
- Commentary
- The fifth letter is far longer than n's of the bn's and must surely be a l. The first letter of the second name is almost certainly a ʾ but a light scratch of a different texture to the rest of the letter crosses one of the forks. In view of the othertexts on this stone it is probable that this is extraneous to the letter. The letters of the last name have been incised with double strokes.
