Interpretation

Commentary
The author forgot one of the d's of dd and wrote it slightly below the other letters. He also wrote an ʾ after the word dd and then changed the letter to a h. There are two equally possible restorations of the text at the end. The author has either omitted the n of ngʿ as suggested above or he has left out a w intending to write w wgʿ "and he was sorrowful". There is a series of lines on another face of the rock.
