Interpretation

Commentary
Area B. The m in mn is 90°. The b of ʾbl has been partly hammered over giving it the appearance of a k and a short stroke has been added to the hook of the l in the same word. This inscription must have been written before 315 since that text is forced to swerve to the left to avoid the final -h of 319. The reading seems clear but it produces an apparantly awkward construction.
