Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the author’s name is difficult to read due to abrasion on the stone, but seems to be a zigzag line, so has been read as a s². The name s²lʿt is previously unattested. The patronym seems to continue vertically parallel to bn. Neither letter of the patronym is clear. Josef Bloomfield
