Interpretation

Commentary
This inscription and one that runs alongside it (BES20 1304) are covered by damage to the surface of the stone, scratching, and abrasion. The inscription seems to start on the left side and curve around. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether there are any bns in the first part of the inscription. The reading presented is almost certainly not a name. Additionally, a lām auctoris is not visible. The n of the first bn is much larger than one would expect and the b looks like a square ḥ.
