Interpretation
- Commentary
- The name and patronym of the author of the inscription are hammered and the last part is scratched. There is a line of hammered dots near the end of the inscription. The last part is difficult to interpret. It is possible that after the second w the author wrote another w by mistake and then crossed it out. He may then have decided not to emend the ʿ and r to ʿwr but started again by writing ʿ and w before abandoning the inscription.
