Interpretation

Commentary
The letters after the first q and the fourth w are covered by abrasions. It is quite likely that w[g][d] [s¹][f][r] nʿm "he found the inscription of Nʿm" should be restored in the latter case. KRS 1124 which is on the same rock is by someone called Nʿm. The author appears to have omitted the ʿ and h in the deity's name.
