- By Mġyr son of Ṣʿd son of S¹ḫr son of Mfny and he migrated to the inner desert and he found the inscription of {Mfny} and cried out because of heavy loss
Interpretation
- Commentary
- There are some faint letters on the side of the stone immediately after the mf of the second mfny. WH omitted the m of the second mfny and their restoration [fm]ny is based on their reading of WH 953 where it is probably metathesis on the part of either the author or the copyist.
