- The reading of the inscription is difficult and it seems possible that some of the letters might have been changed although there is little difference in the technique of the additions that might have been made to create the changes. The second and third letters seem to have been joined but it is unclear whether the second letter should be read as a l or a n with a slightly longer ligature. The fourth letter might be an ʿ with a second circle added later. If these corrections are right then the first name would read nfʿ. The following letter should probably be read as a b with the shorter prong having been added later.
