Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIT: wqyt m s²nʾ for wqyt m ( ) s²nʾ. CEDS 605: JMAA VIII p.6: wqyt m rs²nʾ "[grant] preservation against rs²nʾ".
Commentary
There is a curve after the fourth m which JMAA VIII has read as a r but it is most likely that it is a copyist's error or extraneous to the inscription.
