SIJ 253: as above to ġnmt SIJ 254: ----ḥwlt hs¹trths²rs¹ JSafN p. 112: read as one text.

This is clearly one text. Most of the letters at the beginning and the end of the inscription have been joined by drawing a straight line through them though those of the first name have also been ligatured to each other.
