Interpretation
- Commentary
- Area B. The author's name is not certain since the b is written within the curve of the r and so together they resemble a m. They are not joined at the bottom but the tops of the lines have been destroyed b y a chip in the rock and so it is impossible to be certain that this is correct. Like 262 this text was clearly written after the drawing had been carved. Since the authors appear to be brothers and both claim the drawing it is possible that s¹lm was responsible for drawing the man and Rb for the camel.
