Commentary
Only parts of the reading can be checked from the photograph which is very dark and virtually illegible. The uncertainties in the SD reading reflect the quality of the photograph rather than what it is probably possible to read from the stone. The form of some of the letters in the last part of the text in the NSR and JaS copies suggest that their readings are not correct. In NSR the d in dṯʾ is of a radically different form to the other d's in the text and in JaS the ḥ of ṣdḥ is larger and more square than the other ḥ of the text. JaS is correct in reading further letters on the stone see NSR 11.2 and 11.3.
