Hi,
Sene 1278 = 1861/62 A.D.
First part is also very eligible but we need someone who knows the language of the region.

Hello Dom,

Thanks for joining.
Do you mean the whole writing is ilegible or just the first ?
I believe there is a parts arabic (red) and a part that is some western inititials carved in at later date (in blue)

Am I correct on that ?

Best regards,
Willem

Ok, I will hide myself under a rock and not be shown for some time

Thanks Dom !
Thanks for the explanation.
This will surely help understanding these inscriptions in the future.

This also makes me very curious to the elegible part.
That must be something local / sumatran.

Let's see if we can find some more helpers

Best regards,
Willem

We have to understand the vocabulary to read jawi because there is no vowel mark/harakat, but it sounded close enough to admir or samir & muhamad or mukamad, but again might read something else. In this particular case the script is rather vague. I think we should read the number in this direction <- no?
Maybe there's a better opinion from someone else, but hope this help.

That is a good point. Shouldn't arabic be read right to left?
