Interpretation

Commentary
WH read a patch of abrasion after the ḥ as a {g} while what they read as ʾ (in fact more like a h) is some distance away beside kmd of WH 3405 and is probably simply a collection of scratches. See the colour photographs

Provenance
WH Cairn 46 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
