- Stehle 1960: 14–16 reads this as two inscriptions: 158703.1 l qdm bn mḥrb bn ḃnt bn ms¹k bn ʾnʿm bn nfr bn s²ddt and 158703.2: l ḫbb bn ʾdd bn nẓr w ḥḍr f h lt s¹lm w znmt w wgm ʿl- ʾs¹ w ʿl- fḍḥ w ʿl- bgrt kzm mh "And he was present (at this place). And in the name of Lt greeting. And a token and a mark for ʾs¹ and for Fdḥ and for Bgrt. He replenished his water supply (?)" :
- Commentary
- The inscription is written on 2 faces and was read as 2 texts by Stehle. However a b and n are just visible, despite a chip, before the name ḫbb and so it is clearly all one inscription.
