Interpretation

Commentary
The stone seems to be broken following the patronym and only becomes legible again on the right side of the stone. The inscription ends with the deity name Yṯʿ alongside the prayer to the same deity in BES20 302. The author seems to be intending the reader to associate the same prayer with his inscription, given his evocation of the deity. Josef Bloomfield
