Interpretation
- Commentary
- The inscription is lightly scratched over BES20 1916 and is very difficult to read in the photos. The inscription seems to include a narrative, possible a prayer or a description of finding an inscription of the author's paternal uncle. The translations of dd -h and ns¹ are very tentative, given that the context of the words is impossible to read.
