Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: brzt for brrt
Commentary
Although at first sight the penultimate letter looks like a z, it is clear from the photograph that the short stroke is in the same technique as WH 2583 and is in fact the final n of that text. WH working from only a hand-copy read it has both the final n of WH 2583 and the top of a "z" in 2581.

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.
