Interpretation

Commentary
Many of the letters in this inscription are turned at 90º to the direction of the text. The ʾ and n at the beginning are clear and then there seems to be an extraneous line, a y, and then a slightly curved line which might originally have been a r but which has had a loop added to one end and possibly a fork to the other turning it into a ṣ. Both this text and KRS 1443 claim the drawing.
