Interpretation

Commentary
The first half of the inscription is difficult to read due to blurring in the photographs and damage to the stone. The author’s name is very tentative, as the first letter is very unclear. The second letter may be a ʿ or w. There seems to be a large gap between the two letters of the patronym, but not letters are visible between them. Josef Bloomfield
