Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is carved in long thin letters across the stone and curves around back on itself following the second grmʾl. The vocative particle and deity name are difficult to read, but given the little space available between f and s¹lm, it seems likely that the deity must be Lt. Josef Bloomfield
