Interpretation

Commentary
The letters are written carelessly and are lightly scratched on the rock. The prong of the second h is slightly covered by lichen. The prongs of the following ʾ are rather unclear and the next letter is not very straight. The prong of the third h is very shallow and the crossbar of the first t is doubtful as the line has a black patina and might not belong to the inscription. There is a chip out of the rock between the third s¹ and following t. The third t is rather small. The crossbar of the second q is curved and uncertain and the prongs of the second ʾ are roughly formed. The crossbar of the penultimate letter is doubtful. The rock is damaged after the final letter and it is possible there are further letters after it.
