Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 252: w s²ty bn ʿ{l}y s¹nt hrbns²tfbʿdhm{y}rḥ{z}mhltwṯ---- for the second half of SIJ 252. However, these letters are on a different copy (W 223) from the beginning of the text (H 89) and almost certainly belong to a different inscription not re-recorded by the BDRS
Commentary
The inscription continues in very small letters which are difficult to read from the photograph, but they are clearly not those in the SIJ copy (W 223).
