Textual Notes
The L of the second word on the third line, LH, is written backward. This is somewhat unsurprising as the entire inscription is written in an unskilled linear hand. It is likely that the carver was not literate in Aramaic and doing the best he could to follow a copy of the inscription given to him. The fourth line begins with the Ḥ of Ḥapi, in error, then continues after a false start on a second letter, likely the top of a P.
