- Commentary
- Several letters have been altered and the second has been erased. It is possible that the third has been transformed from a l into a r and the bar of the w appears to have been hammered over though traces of it can still be seen. The following letter has been thoroughly hammered over but from the traces still visible it may have been a ḥ. In the patronym forks have been hammered over the bases of the second and third letters Neither can have been a b which the bn shows to have been much more squat. The first could have been a l similar to the lām auctoris in which case the third may have been a r.
