Interpretation

Commentary
The lām auctoris has a side-stroke making it look like a h. It would seem that the second name has been obscured by abrasion since WH copied the text.

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.
