Interpretation

Commentary
The beginning of the inscription seems to be concealed by a large hammered modern Arabic inscription. A thin straight line is visible between the alif and dāl of the Arabic inscription, which has been read as the lām auctoris. The final three names have previously been found in the genealogy in LP 399. Josef Bloomfield
