Interpretation
- Commentary
- It seems likely that the author made a mistake after the ḍ and wrote a b or possibly a small r. He then inscribed a line changing the letter to l but one arm of the previous letter shows through and gives it the appearance of a h. The m of the seventh name and the letters between the fourth w and third h are damaged by abrasions.
