- Commentary
- The text is carved in small thinly scratched letters beside the first line of WH 2426. It is not possible to read the first letter of the third name as k. It is clearly a b back-to-front, perhaps making a pattern with the preceding b n (?). The third letter of the name is probably a y.
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 34 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
