Commentary
The b of mḥr{b} looks more like a q or d on the photograph. The reading mḥrb bn bnt bn ms¹k is clear in HCH 101 however. It is possible the second letter of the sixth name is a s². There are four series of seven lines on the rock. [The b of mḥr{b} looks more like a d and the name {h}{f}{r} is not clear on the photograph. The f of {f}ḍḥ is not clear on the photograph. The n of mny is not clear on the photograph. For the rading of {f}ḍḥ see HCH 101 on which the s² is clear.] There are three apotropaic signs of seven lines on the same stone.
