Interpretation
- Commentary
- The inscription runs down the right side of the drawing of a horseman turns to run below it and then up the right side. It obviously predates King Archive 1 which has been carved over part of the genealogy. There is also considerable later hammering over anything that may have followed the second ʿwr, and over King Archive 3. Like King Archive 1, 3, and 4–6, the inscription is known only from polaroid prints discovered in the archive of Geraldine King.
