Interpretation

Commentary
The second and fourth b's are attached by scratched lines to the n's that follow turning them into circle shapes. After the s² there are two circles, the second with a tail. Although it is difficult to tell from the incised lines whether they have been tampered with, it seems from changes made to the other letters that the first circle was originally a b and the second was a k and in both cases the arms of the letters have been closed by the addition of a line. The last letter of the fourth name consists of two lines drawn parallel to one another. The sequence ḏrh bn s²bky bn gml occurs in KRS 1792 and s²bky bn gml in KRS 902.
