WH 3256

Interpretation

Commentary: The first name and the bn have been vandalised by the addition of ligatures and extra lines. The lām auctoris and the first m have been joined in two places. Both forks of the ʾ are just visible on the photograph though they have been hammered over. A line has been drawn through the b making it resemble a ḥ and its arms joined in a semi-circle enclosing the n. Pace WH no ʾ can be seen between the r and the t of the second name. A light scratch to the right of the t is not an ʾ.
