Interpretation

Commentary
The genealogy runs along the bottom of the stone in an area covered by abrasion. As there are no close-up photographs of this area, it is not possible to read the middle of the genealogy. The name Ẓnʾl may refer to the author of BES20 1216, which is carved on the same face of the stone. Josef Bloomfield
