Interpretation

- After the name mrwn the author carved bn s¹ʿd bn ys¹ʿl bn ṣbʿ and then crossed out the names and instead continued the text bn s¹ʿd bn ys¹mʿl w wgm ʿl ḥbb curving round. Presumably the first attempt was because of the mistake of ys¹ʿl for ys¹mʿl. It is unclear why the author did not re-carve the name ṣbʿ in the second attempt.
