- Commentary
- The inscription has been heavily scratched over and some of the letters are unclear. In addition, the author is inconsistent in his writing of the letter ʿ which is as large as a g in the words rʿy and the first ʿm but a normal size in the second ʿm. Fortunately, the context makes it clear what he meant.
