Interpretation

Commentary
NB this text does not appear on the photograph of 3855 and so cannot be in the relationship to it suggested by the placing of the copies of the two texts on WH pl. 68. Instead it appears by itself on a rock.

Provenance
WH Cairn 47 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
