Don't take this the wrong way, but if you don't actually know the answer,
please don't guess. http://bind-users.info/FAQ.html#Guess

The ; starts a comment in a zone file, it has no other syntactical
significance. I write all my SOA's like this:

domain.com. SOA hidden-master.domain.com. hostmaster.domain.com. (
                2002110501      60m     15m     1w      10m     )
;               Serial          Refresh Retry   Expire  Neg. TTL

The problem in the poster's zone file was elsewhere, as someone else
pointed out already.
