Christopher A. Rollston, 2021.
What it's used for here
Rollston Epigraphy, April 2021. An epigrapher's assessment: the signs look early alphabetic, the readings (roughly k'y and wn'ls) are tentative, the find spot on the tomb floor argues against intrusion, and longer texts are needed. Rollston was on the excavation staff.
