The scribal omission of a letter of the verb (y<h>qny-hw) cannot be ruled out (see the commentary to the translation). Rossi remarks that the reading of last letter of l.4 is problematic. If it is a ṭ, the central bar is very close to the left bar. This differs from the ṭ in the following line, and we cannot rule out the reading s²brt, with the second bar of the b widening towards the bottom. However, since the root S²BR is not attested in ASA, the reading s²ṭrt is more likely.

Rossi remarks that the reading of l. 8 is highly hypothetical because of the poor state of preservation of the plaque and the mediocre quality of the photograph. In all likelihood, it contains the proper names of the author's brothers (cf. ʾḫy-hw, l. 7-8). After the first word separator, we can read a w or ʿ; the second sign may be s¹, b or another letter with two vertical bars; the third is w or ʿ; the last two letters are r and h. After the second divider: w; n or ḥ; s¹; m, ḍ or b; a sign that looks like a g, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's a very eroded m. It is not clear whether the last circular sign, which is unusually high (below the middle of the height of the letters) is w, ʿ or simply an irregularity in the metal surface.
