Commentary
WH read this text as the continuation of 3901. However it is clear from the photograph that they are two separate inscriptions The beginning of 3902 is obscured by a patch of abrasion and the letters of the first name are therefore very faint and the reading is not entirely certain. There is a line above the third letter of the name which in some lights make it look like a s² but on the rock when it was copied this looked like an extraneous mark above a b. Similarly on some photographs the final letter of the first name looks like a k or a h, whereas on the rock it appeared as a clear t.
