Interpretation

Commentary: The inscription is partly covered by later hammering over the drawing. There is a w carved slightly below the inscription between the w preceding the deity's name and the q of nqʾt. It is inscribed in a different technique from the rest of the letters in the inscription. There is a letter that has been crossed out by being filled in after the y of yʿwr. The w and r of yʿwr are covered by the later hammering. The r and s¹ of the second frs¹ are carved on another face of the rock and cross the last three letters of KRS 1167.
