Interpretation

Commentary
The text is on an adjacent face to that bearing WH 2401 and was not recorded by WH. The letters have been partly damaged and partly vandalized by the addition of extra strokes. For instance the second letter which looks like a clear s¹ has small diagonal strokes at the bottom making it a cross between a s¹ and a ẓ. There is damage to the next two letters and apart from the ʾ the letters in the second name are very difficult to make out.

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.
