Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the author's name looks like a ṣ with an infilled circle. The circle is probably unrelated damage and therefore the shape is that of a h. The end of the inscription seems to be covered by dirt on the stone and therefore cannot be read. Other attestations of the name nzt are followed by the name dḥrt (KhBG 235, 240, 241).  Josef Bloomfield
