Interpretation

Commentary
The middle prong of the first ḏ is doubtful. After the second y the rock is damaged and then most of the curse is written on another face of the rock. It is difficult to tell from the photographs whether it should be read with this inscription or as the end of KRS 2130. The r of the deity's name is damaged by abrasions as is the third ʿ. It is unclear where the r of the last word was written.
