- The text was carved in a number of techniques. The first two letters were direct hammered and the lower hook of the ʾ was then extended by incising with a broad point. The next three letters lwh were incised with the same broad point and the left side and cross-bar of the w are formed by less careful multiple incisions. The b of the first name is direct hammered but the bn which immediately follows it is formed by multiple incised lines. The ʿ of the second name is shallowly incised with a narrow point. The first z was incised with a broad point. The stem of the second seems to have been formed first by a a very finer point and then incised with a different broad point (or the same point held at a different angle). The cross-stroke of the second z is direct hammered. The b of the next bn is formed by multiple scratches and the n by one such scratch reinforced by a line incised with a broad point. The final name is lightly incised with a fine point.
