Interpretation
- Commentary
- Part of the final letter of the second name is obscured by an Arabic text. The prayer might be interpreted either as rwḥ wqyt "the relief of protection" or it is possible that the author forgot to write a connective and intended rwḥ [w] wqyt "relief from adversity and [grant] protection". On qyt “protection” see Al-Jallad 2015: 352.
