Interpretation
- Commentary
- The text is surrounded by a cartouche. The last part is presumably a curse in which the author has omitted the deity's name. He has written ḏ ʿty twice. The author seems to have carved a r before the l near the neck of the camel. ʿty is probably to be interpreted from Arabic ʿatā “he behaved proudly”.
