Interpretation
- Commentary
- Both inscriptions on the stone are difficult to make sense of. The reading here assumes the line across the second letter of the second name is extraneous. The letter is much smaller than the w of wṯm and is therefore probably a ʿ. The direction of the inscription seems to switch following the final bn, with the final name starting to the left of the b of bn.
