- Translation
- By S¹ʿd son of ʿm son of Rṯʿʾl son of Ḫrg son of Bḥrmh son of {Rfʾt} son of ʿmr son of {Zdʾl} son of ʾs²ll and he mourned; and so O {Yṯʿ} [grant] relief from sorrow
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.
