Interpretation

Commentary
This text was published as WH 3775 a. The inscription is incised in very small letters between the third and eighth letters of WH 3774. The n of bn has been scratched over but is still visible. WH 3775.1 starts immediately after the s² with no room for any other letters in WH 3775. It is possible that the same author carved WH 3775 and 3775.1 when he realised that he had omitted the ḥ before the s² in the former he recarved the whole inscription as WH 3775.1

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.
