Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is difficult to read without digital enhancements due to damage on the stone. The reading presented, however, is almost certain, due to the attestation of the same genealogy (and different levels of the same genealogy) in a number of other inscriptions (see BES17 1346; C 3905; KRS 1047).
