Interpretation
- Commentary
- After ḫrg the text is very lightly scratched and the name rfʾt is particularly faint on the photograph. The lower fork of the ʾ has been obscured by an abrasion as has the ʿ of Yṯʿ. The letter which was originally carved after the d of zdʾl has been scored over and was presumably an error corrected by the author. The magic sign of 7 lines has been scratched below the name Ḫrg and may occur again above Zdʾl. The first four names are incised and the others are scratched.
