Commentary
The first, fourth and eighth letters are identical very shallow curves. It is likely therefore that all three are l's. There is no trace on the photographs of the h-dr ʿm f ʿm which is on WHs facsimile (64) )but is ignored in WHs reading of this text.

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.
