Interpretation

Commentary
The beginning of the inscription is partially concealed by another stone. It is possible to see other shapes, including a small n-like line, but these have been understood as extraneous in this reading. The b of rḥbt looks like two parallel lines, but it is possible they are connected with a lightly scratched line that is not visible in the photograph. Josef Bloomfield
