Text Information

Siglum
NSR 73.2
Transliteration
l rġḍ bn s¹dṯ[ ]y wgm ʿl- m---- w ʿl- ʾb -h {f}h---- ṣh ʾḫr ----
Translation
By Rġḍ son of {s¹dṯy} he grieved for M---- and for his father {f}h----ṣh ʾḫr ----

Interpretation

Commentary
The ḍ is two concentric circles. There is a gap between the d and ṯ of the second name. The letters after the second m are on the edge of the rock only a line with a circle is visible and it is impossible to check whether it is a y ṣ or ṯ. The letter after the h of ʾbh might be an f or an s². It seems likely that NSR 73.3 which ends in w w shares the letters of this text from the g of wgm onwards.
