Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
ThNSSMAS: as ThNSM.II. ThNSM.II 4: l zbn bn ylbt
Commentary
The first two letters of the second name are written close to the edge of the rock and it seems likely that the line of the first might continue and the letter should be read as a d rather than a y. Similarly the second letter might be a l but part of the letter could be missing.
