Notes on support and decorationsAfter the text, letter h (maybe Nkrḥ's symbol) and two South-Arabian symbols: ʿṯtr's monogram and a snake (for the god Wd). As the following letters are isolated, they are probably symbols too, but according to Garbini they are the Thamudic letters g and d or k (the last sign is fragmentary).
