Interpretation
- Commentary
- The letter read as w of the deity's name is rather far away from the ḍ of the name and it is possible that there are further letters under some dirt which is covering the rock at this point. It is difficult to read anything after the {y}. For the "otiose ḏ particle" here see Al-Jallad 2015: 84–85.
