| 2 | The name ʾns¹m could be no complete. The letters /l/ and /q/ of the name ʾlqdm are a little bit distant as there is a crack in the stone between them, without no lost letters. |
| 3 | According to Solá Solé, ʾlfdy is rather a patronymic than the name of a clan, as there is no evidence of a clan with this name. |
