Interpretation
- Commentary
- It appears that a number of letters have been vandalised. In two cases, the b of bn has been turned into a circle that encircles the n. Additionally, the ʿ of ʾgmʿ seems to have been extended into a long rectangle, but the original ʿ can be seen at the bottom of the shape. The end of the inscription is very difficult to read on the stone and therefore the reading is presented very tentatively. Josef Bloomfield
