Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 516: blqt byḥs¹ for blq {h-} ----; reads SIJ 516.1 as the continuation of 516.
Commentary
The photograph was taken from an oblique angle and so is not entirely clear. The l of {k}hl has a generous curve at one end as do the other l's in the text the sign just before the unreadable letters looks identical to the first letter of theinscriptions and should probably therefore be read h.
