Interpretation
- Commentary
- After the g there is the shape of a y where presumably the author forgot to extend the line on the other side of the loop to form a d. The last letter is on the edge of the rock and it is possible that the inscription continues on another face. It is also possible that, if ḥb is complete (i.e. that a second b has not been lost), it should be interpreted as a proper name "the inscription of Ḥb"
