There is no photo for the inscription. Garbini writes: "L'iscrizione dal punto di vista paleografico, è caratterizzata dalla r a due tratti e dalla n rovesciata".
The editor reads w-hkns¹, J. Pirenne in the commentary of CIAS 42.11/b 4 (p. 99): "D'après une photographie inédite (Mission française, 1972), il faut lire: w-hnkl".
