Interpretation
- Commentary
- The photographs do not show the end of the inscription clearly and the area of the stone is covered partially by damage. If the reading of d is correct, it seems likely that the intended word is either dr (i.e. was in this place) or dmyt (i.e. is this drawing). Unfortunately it is impossible to see any other letters in the photographs. Josef Bloomfield
