Interpretation

Commentary

The reading of this text is highly conjectural. The photograph does not permit a reading of the first part. The word bnt seems apparent, which gives us a vertical line n, similar to Thamudic B. The name of the father could be bk, which is widely attested and would suggest a Thamudic D value of the final glyph, or bḥ, with the traditional value of the trident.
