- WH: hln for hl{d}
- Commentary
- The final letter is a bit short but there is clearly a circle in the middle of the line, suggesting that it should be read as d rather than n. The first word of the inscription is probably a fragment of a personal name, since the stone is partially broken, rather than the preposition mn.
