Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is difficult to make sense of. The reading of dll is presented very tentatively, as the shape read as ll looks much more like a s¹. There are a number of letters following the possible dll but each is uncertain. In this middle of the stone face, between this inscription and BES20 1248, there are a number of shapes that look like letters. It is not clear whether they belong to this inscription of BES20 1248.
