Interpretation

Commentary
The text is written vertically behind and below the smaller camel and is difficult to interpret as it has been tampered with by the addition of lines and infilling. The w has been joined to the initial l by a line. The third letter might be a g but the variation in technique of some of the hammering suggests that it might have been a b and then the arms were enclosed by a line. The r has been joined to the following b by a line. The n is joined to the following letter which is an infilled circle. It is small enough to be an ʿ or it might be a g or w. The next letter is a line with a slight protusion in the middle. It might be a q with the loop filled in or a t or the protusion might be part of a line joining the letter to the preceding one in which case it should be read as a l. The last letter is a line with infilled loops at either end. It might be a ṯ or a ṣ.
