Commentary
The last four letters are ignored by WH and are not accurately represented on the facsimile but can be seen on the photograph. Although the w has since been damaged it shows up clearly on the Department of Antiquities of Jordan photograph (A 2923) taken shortly after the stone was brought back from the field. This also shows that the following letter is a n not a t as stated in SIAM II p. 195. [MCAM]
