Commentary
These letters are read by Theeb as the last part of ThSaf 54 but it seems most likely that they are part of another inscription the beginning of which has been lost because the rock is broken. The prayer at the end is written on another edge of the rock some distance from the rest of the text and it is possible that it does not belong here.
