Interpretation
- Commentary
- Several letters have been tampered with but fortunately the additions stand out clearly from the original letters. The two h's have been turned into y's and the d into a q. The most elaborate alteration was the conversion of bn into w where the fine chiselled lines of the original letters can be seen alongside the later crude hammered strokes. The end of the text was not included in the photograph.
