Interpretation

Commentary
The text is written along the edge of the rock to the right of the end of KRS 789. It is possible it should be read as a continuation of KRS 788 and that some letters have been obscured by abrasions before the d read here and what has been read as the end of KRS 788. The d is carved between the h and ġ of KRS 789. There then appears to be a b and possibly a n and a f or possibly a s². The loop of the y at the end is doubtful.
