Interpretation

Commentary
Damascus Museum 25757 is a limestone tripod platter, with one leg missing. Damascus Museum 25757.2 starts to the right of the spout and runs around two-thirds of the external edge of the platter. It would appear to have been inscribed before 25757.1 since the latter runs onto the base of the platter at the point where it meets 25757.2. Although the author's name seems bizarre the letters are clear. The translation of qbll follows Al-Jallad 2015: 333.
