Interpretation

Commentary
The end of the inscription was underground when it was found and the letters are rather faint. It is likely that the name ḥmlt should be restored after the word s¹fr. The author of KRS 1971 says he found the writing of Ḥmlt and 1975 is by Ḥmlt which might be the inscription which is mentioned.
