Interpretation

Commentary

The text as it appears on the rock has two grammatical anomalies that are best interpreted as writing errors. The first is that an h sits in the place of the conjunction linking the genealogy and narrative, and another h appears before the toponym rgl. While clearly carved, they are clearly mistakes and have been amended to w and null. It is unclear why the author produced these otiose hs in his inscription.
