The letters are crudley carved and the reading presented here is uncertain. The shape read as a ṭ is actually five vertical lines with a horizontal line intersecting them. At the bottom of each lines, there may be shapes that could be read as the bottom of letters (e.g. the second vertical line has the fork of a ḏ and the fourth has the hook of a y). These may be letters incorrectly written and then crossed out by the author.
