Interpretation
- Commentary
- The text is surrounded by a cartouche. The author omitted the ṭ of the fifth name and squeezed it in above. The n of bn gdr was also originally omitted by the author and then added to the right of the b. The third letter from the end is slightly damaged and it is possible it should be read as a w. However the line in the circle is shallower than the other lines of the text and is probably an incidental hammer mark.
