Commentary
This inscription is carved on three sides of the raised "frame" around the Hasaitic version of the text. The script is similar to that of the bronze plaques published by Teixidor 1992 and Puech 1998. The third letter in line 2 appears to be a mistake for b, and the verbal form bn where one would expect bnʾ/h, are curious, see the discussion in Overlaet, Macdonald and Stein 2016: 134–135. On the date see the same work pp. 135, 138–139.
