Interpretation
- Commentary
- There is a step in the rock between ʾs¹lm and nhb and it is possible that a w was inscribed very lightly because of the awkwardness of the surface or simply left out. The letter after the ḍ is more like a r. There are some further letters on another face of the rock which it is not possible to read with certainty from the photograph. They might be a continuation of this text and might read ḥlʾ or possibly ẓlʾ.
