Commentary
This text was published as WH 3668 b. The lām auctoris is a simple vertical line with no hooks. The third letter, which has hooks at both ends must therefore be a r. The second name is strange and the reading of the last letter as ṭ is offered very tentatively.

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
