Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: w ʾn <w>ʿl "and I am {Wʿl}"
Commentary
On the photograph it can be seen that there is a dot on either side of the lām auctoris suggesting that the dots are not intended as letters, hence our reading l ḥnʾ w r----. If the text continued onto another face it was unfortunately not photographed.

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.
