Commentary
According to the Corpus of Georgian Inscriptions by Nodar Shoshiashvili the inscription #45. Abbreviation mark: long horizontal straight line. The inscription is dated according to the paleographic data: Ⴃ has no neck, the arch of Ⴀ is widely open. It is possible that the inscription on the stela was engraved later (its style does not perfectly coincide with the style of the figurative relief).
