Interpretation
- Commentary
- The letters are relatively clear on the stone, but the inscription is very difficult to make sense of. The shape next to the m of s¹m looks like a k or possibly a h. The reading here assumes this is a very poorly carved bn, followed by the previously unattested name ʾdql ("he offered to god", see Dadanitic ʾdq).
