TEXT Harding & Littmann: n--r rather than nn. DISCUSSION King (1990: 673–674) commented: "The last letters of the first and third names are straight lines and it is possible the names should be read ḥds² although they would be difficult to explain. There are clearly two dots after the last w and I would read them as a separate name".
