    City 2–Pair of pugilists or the 'gemini twins'
    City 3–Ba-bird

    City 5–Sedge Plant-(the King/Kingdom)-(see offering formula)
    City 6–Bread-loaf?
    City 7–Ka-hands
  2. Register side:
    The bottom fourth register contains two rows of four trees; the end of the second tree row has a vertical throwing stick upon a hieroglyph for "land". (A vertical double-curved throw stick (hieroglyph) upon an early form of a Hill-country (hieroglyph)-(ovate shape like the "sh", pool hieroglyph)-or the "land"-(land, as land but used as "region", not the 'region' hieroglyph), 'ta' hieroglyph-ovate form.)
