Interpretation
- Commentary
- The text is written on three faces. The first was not photographed and, from what is visible of it, it appears to be covered in lichen. The first legible letter might be a y, ṣ, or ṯ as only a line and a loop can be read. The letter read as ḏ is doubtful as the lines of the prong are short and indistinctly inscribed. The fork of the first h is rather doubtful. After the l and before the fourth w there is a rather large curve shape and it is difficult to know what was intended. The photograph is not good enough to be sure that the letter at the end is a t.
