KRS 792
Transliteration
l g{r}s² bn dhy h- mlʾ
Translation
By {Grs²} son of Dhy h- mlʾ

Interpretation

Commentary
The text is written down the right hand side of the rock and the reading is very uncertain. It seems likely that the first name might have been written over other letters. The r is doubtful as the arms of the letter are not very distinctive. The ʾ at the end is finely scratched.
