Interpretation
- Commentary
The gentilic is written Σαβανεο instead of the expected Σαβαηνος; the author "misspelled η with ε, [then] he metathesized the ε and ν; finally, he seems to have omitted the final ς" (Al-Jallad and Al-Manaser 2022: 575). This inscription forms a partial bilingual text with BES19s 3.
