Comments

The inscription was renewed (the last 10 signs), and thus destroyed. Now it is difficult to say which characters were written in the end of the inscription. The beginning of the inscription is also difficult to decipher. The last  5 signs s² k² z I z, if they had been renewed correctly, could be read as s(ä)k(i)z iz ‘eight footprints’.
