Interpretation

Commentary
Area B. After the first three letters the author possibly did a mistake and instead of carving a new text he continued a a higher level on the stone. If the letters following the ʿ are not a mistake it suggests that the text does not stop at ḥn. The end could then tentatively be read b[n] kn. Associated drawing to be numbered.
