Interpretation
- Commentary
- There is an extra l at the beginning of the text at a slightly different angle to the rest of the text presumably the author decided to xarve the inscription in a different direction to that in which he had originally started. In the light of KRS 379, it seems likely that the author here is using the word bn to mean "descendent" rather than "son".
