Interpretation

Commentary: There is a recent wasm hammered across this inscription and KRS 1774-1775. The third bn, and the fifth and sixth names are covered by the wasm. The letter following rʿy has the shape of a s² but it is presumably meant to be a f. The r of tẓr and part of the fourth letter from the end are covered by the wasm. The latter might be a ṣ, ʾ, or a h. It is possible that a s¹ should be restored before the following m and {h-} [s¹]my read but there does not seem to be enough space for another letter. The phrases w tẓr ʾ- my and w tẓr my occur in KRS 102 and 1267 respectively.
