Interpretation

Commentary
In the first half of the second line the author places the two examples of k and the 3 examples of bn at 90º to the direction of the text. See also BSTL 36. The name of the author appears as ẓbn, but the same man carved AMWR 111 and BES17 722, where it is clearly written as ẓʿn, an extremely common name.
