The three-character inscription may be translated, "X made this sacrificial vessel". In Western Zhou Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, 1990, p. 277, the author, Jessica Rawson states that in the publications in which the ding and cover had been previously published it was assumed that the vessel and cover were not originally made for each other, even though they are cast with "identically worded inscriptions".
