Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is preceded by a large letter that looks like the lām auctoris. It seems likely that this is either a mistake by the author, who began writing the inscription with letters too large for the available space, or it is an unrelated mark. Following bn, one can see what appears to be a very small ẓ. The patronym seems to be completed with two long horizontal lines below the k of nkf in BES20 273. Josef Bloomfield
