@AncientEgypt23 You sure these glyphs are accurate? All the writings of Tiberius’s name that I can find end with -s or -sꜣ; the -wꜣj ending here seems extremely strange. What source is this transcribed from? — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 16:52, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Vorziblix I copied them from reliefs of Tiberius in Egypt where his name was visible and legible in cartouches. Squeeze seen here AncientEgypt23 (talk) 17:33, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

@AncientEgypt23 Thanks! It looks like the reading order here is supposed to have the second reed-leaf before the
wA
-sign, and it also looks like the
wA
-sign is a variant of or error for
s
in the original inscription. (Such an interchange of signs is not too unusual for the Greco-Roman Period). I’ll fix it up accordingly. — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 17:53, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Vorziblix Ah, I see. Thanks for...well, doing what you do! AncientEgypt23 (talk) 18:02, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
