Interpretation

- SIJ 172: gmḥy for {w}m{ḥ}{y}; ḥrb kbr for ḥrb f ḥrb.
- Commentary
- The third name is very unclear on the pohotograph. The ʿ of ʿl can be seen on the photograph to be a circle similar to the third letter and not a dot as in Thompson's copy. The antepenultimate letter is clearly a ḥ on the photograph and it is followed by a hooked r. Winnet ignores the f after the first ḥrb.
