Interpretation

Commentary: The reading is from a hand-copy made by Dr Farouk Al-Rawi. The reading until the first ṣ is fairly certain but after the ṣ the copy is incomplete and it is doubtful whether the next part is a continuation of the same inscription or part of another one. The letter after the word dd has a loop at one end although it seems most likely that this belongs to another letter which would be a ṯ. The letter before the second s² is doubtful and there is room after the letters bn for another letter although there is no indication of this on the copy. The eighth ʿ has a crossbar but it seems likely that it is an inaccurate copy. The second prong of the final name is uncertain and it is possible the letter is a h. It is uncertain that the last two letters should be read as r r.
