- l qʿṣn bn nẓr bn s¹ḫr w wgd ʾṯr dd [[-h]] w [n]gʿ
- Translation
- By Qʿṣn son of Nẓr son of S¹ḫr and he found the inscription of {his} paternal uncle and {he was sad}
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.
