Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 463: rʿy for bʿy; f h- lg w myr for f h {r}{ḍ}w {ġ}yr By Wdm son of Ḫlq and he tended the flocks in the leja and provided (them) with food
Commentary
Comparison with the b of bn and the final letter shows that the first word of the sentence must be bʿy. The antepenultimate letter would be back-to-front if it is a m and is more likely to have been a ġ of the doubled variety. Al-Jallad: By Wdm son of H̱ lq and {he pastured} so, O {Rḍw}, {provide provisions}! (2015: 281).
