- Commentary
- The first letter has a line joining the vertical stroke to form a h. It is not a deep as the rest of the letter but is probably intentional. There is a chip in the rock after the h and it is possible that NSR and H are justified in reading a n. The first s² is inscribed near the top of the stroke of the following h. The ʿ of {ʿ}n is larger than the other ʿ of the text. It is possible it should be read as m although it is not as elongated as the other m's. There is a chip between the n and d of ndm.
