Interpretation
- Commentary
- Part of the first name is covered by lichen and other letters of the text are faint. There might be further letters after the third n. The letter read as the fifth n is a rather long slightly curved line. The author appears to have left out the g of wgd. After the fourth ʿ there might be a h, ḫ, s², b, l, and r and possibly further letters although the rock is too worn to read anything.
