Interpretation

Commentary
The reading of the names is doubtful as the author of KRS 1318 has written over parts of all the letters of the name after the third one. He has probably also hammered round the originally scratched outline of the camel and the g and m of gml. The letter read as b has a rather shallow curve and what looks like a fork at one end, though this is probably a mistake. The tail of the s¹ is rather long. There might be another letter after the first m covered by hammering although there is not much room.
