Interpretation

Commentary
The rock is broken after the second ʿ and before the prayer. There are probably two letters after the third l and before the ʿ and there might be a letter between the ʿ and the r although it is not certain. The rock is chipped at the end but a r and a w can be read with certainty and then a possible s¹ and another r. KRS 2603 is on another part of the rock which has been broken away.
