Commentary
H 422 is inscribed over the beginning of this text. The m has been hammered in and changed to the r of H 422. The other letters have all been tampered with. A shallow line has been scratched between the arms of the b a deeper line is inscribed across the circle of the ʿ and there are light scratches between the arms of the s¹. There is a shallow line attached to the y to form a prong and the n has been turned into a rectangle. The l has been changed into a ṣ the ḥ into a w by the addition of a line across the arms of the ḥ the following y has been turned into a ṯ by the addition of a circle and the t is surrounding by a circle. There is a cartouche surrounding the inscription with seven lines attached to it.
