Inscription M-02 on King’s Road

It is carved on an outcrop on the bedrock that stands on the left of the ramped road (King’s Road) that ascends to the plateau. This inscription is thought to be contemporaneous with M-01b (575-550 BCE). It is written boustrophedon, and the first line is dextroverse.
