Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP and C: ʿbṭ for {ṣ}ʿbṭ.
Commentary
Note that in the arrangement in C, C 3264 belongs in Articulus XXIII (al-ʿĪsāwī) rather than Articulus XXIV. A chiselled ṣ between bn and ʿbṭ and three other possible letters around the end of the text were read by Littmann as LP 347 (l ṣʿb). But their position on the stone and their distribution in and around C 3264 (= LP 346) make this improbable.
