Interpretation
- Commentary
- The inscription is difficult to interpret and presumably the letters have been altered. We present one possible interpretation here. The fourth letter has the appearance of a w but it seems possible that the b and n have been joined together and an additional line has been added. The b has been joined to the n of the next bn. It is possible the next letter was originally a n and a cross-bar has been added later. The b and n of the third bn have joined together to form a g. A line has been added across the fork of the ʾ to form a ṣ and an additional loop has been added to the following g. One arm of the final letter has only a slight curve and the other has been hammered over.
