WH 2485

Interpretation

Commentary: The first name of this text was published as WH 2485 a and the second half as part of WH 2485 b. However, it is clear from the photograph that the arrangement given here is the correct one. Note that between the time when WH made their copy and 2018 when the photographs were taken the rock had split leaving the lām auctoris and half the first b on one side and the rest of the text on the other with WH 2485.1. There are traces of other texts on the stone but they are too faint to read.

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.
