- By Kn son of {s²krh} son of Gls¹ son of Wʿr and he spent the season of the later rains {exhausted} [and] alone and so ʾḏry
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The second letter of the second name is written by a crack but it seems most likely that a k should be read. The first letter of the word after dṯʾ might be a n as it is slightly longer than the dot of the other ʿ in the text. The inscription is directly hammered except for the last three letters which have been scratched possibly so that the author could fit them into the remaining space.
