Interpretation

Commentary
The lām auctoris, if that is what it is, has a horizontal stroke across it which looks to be of the same technique as the vertical. The rock is broken immediately before it and so we can have no idea of what preceded it.

Provenance
WH Cairn 39 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
