Interpretation

Commentary
There are two l's at the beginning of the text. The inscription has been heavily scratched over and parts of it are difficult to read. The second name is restored on the basis of the names occurring KRS 1694. After w w, a g can just be seen but, although there is space for a m and a ʿ after it, it is difficult to see traces of them. Only a line of the h after yʿwr is visible.
