Interpretation

Commentary
This text next to WH 3440 does not seem to have been published by WH. The bizarre name is clearly carved. The last two letters with hooks are quite different from the lām auctoris which has no hook and so a likely to be rs.

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.
