Interpretation

Commentary
The reading of the name is very uncertain. The first letter looks like a square with a cross in the middle. The reading here assumes the letter is a ṭ and either the author or somebody else has added to horizontal lines to the top and bottom of the letter, forming a square. The letter could also be a t enclosed with a square. Following the w, there is a hammered circle. It is possible that this circle is a ʿ, but a name ṭwʿy seems unlikely. The reading here, therefore, assumes this is a correction by the author.
