Interpretation

Commentary
Note that r has only one hook, that ʾ, h, ḏ have long stems and very small forks, and that ʿ is a very small dot, whereas g is an elongated oval. K has a square form. The first 3 names are in the 90° script. There is a 9-rayed star and 7 lines above the beginning of the text. There is a symbol of 7 “h”-like signs forming a star within the m of the first name and there are 8-rayed stars in the b of the first bn and the m of the 3rd name. There are two stars (the left 7-rayed, the right 6-rayed) above bn hḏr and 6- or 7-rayed star below the same bn. There is another symbol of 7 “h”-signs between the first m of gmmn and the k of kmy and a curious “L“-shaped line in the bn immediately after kmy. Finally, there are apparently stray marks in the g and the first m of gmmn.
