Interpretation

Commentary

We can be confident in the name Ms¹ʾ on the basis of other inscriptions that attest the genealogy "ʾs¹d son of Ms¹ʾ." These attestations confirm that alif has not been damaged, but hammered. However, it is unclear why the author has scratched the other letters, but hammered the final alif in the name Ms¹ʾ.
