Interpretation
- Commentary
- Given that the inscription consists of only two common names it is difficult to identify M 60 with LSI 111 (= C 3249) or LP 960 with any certainty. It cannot be LP 486 since this is securely identified with L 28 and LP 960 could equally well be H 195. CHECK IF M 60 IS ON THE “SOUTH SIDE OF THE HILL” THE PROVENANCE GIVEN FOR LSI 111. Some of the letters (e.g. the ʾ-s¹-w of the second name) are lightly incised. The rest appear to have been formed by scraping the surface with a relatively narrow transverse point. On the other hand (and perhaps more likely) this effect may be the result of variations in the pressure with which the instrument was applied to to the surface since both techniques can be observed in the d.
