Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 90: bn brd for bn [[]] brd; "he took possession of the enclosure (?)"; JSafN p. 39 note 24: w ʾḫ(ḏ) (h)nh(y) "(he has) taken (possession of the) po(nd)"; VEA p. 86: w ʾḫḏ -h Nhy (N. div.). Al-Jallad 2015: 347 for the translation of the verb ṣwy
Commentary
The author wrote a w before the second name (probably anticipating the third name) and then lightly scratched it over. The last five letters are clear on the photograph and Jamme's parentheses are unnecessary.
