Commentary
The text starts just behind the head of the dromedary and runs up the front of its hump and down the back of it. There is something between the front legs of the Bactrian camel but it is too damaged to interpret and may not belong to the inscription. There is a patch of heavy hammering immediately above the dromedary's hump which has obscured part of the text and only the lower parts of an s² and a f can be seen after it. The last three letters are facing in the opposite direction to the rest of the text and may not belong to it. They were read as a separate inscription by Is.M 115.
