Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
HSD 5: ḥy for ḥmy
Commentary
The middle prong of the ḥ is shallower than the other lines of the inscription and might be accidental. If that is the case the letter should be read as s¹. The first n is not read in the editio princeps but is clear in the photograph. On the drawing see Al-Manaser 2018: 84.
