Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: MDT 1: l ḫlṣ bn s¹[ʿ]d bn ks¹ṭ bn ʾnfs¹ w wgm ʿl- ʾb -h w ʿl- ʾḫt -h w ʿl- kft w ʿl- ḥn w ʿl- ʾbh w ʿl- s¹wdn
Commentary: There is a chip obscuring most of the second name. Only the beginning of the s¹ is visible the second letter has been destroyed and only part of the third letter remains. The third letter of the fourth name is more similar to the b's of the text than the s¹'s as suggested by the author's reading. It is also possible that the curve is an unfinished g or even ʿ. The second letter of the first name after wgm might be a f but it would be a different shape from the other example of that letter in the text and it seems likely that the "middle stroke" is incidental and the letter should be read r. The second letter of the word after the fifth ʿl- is more like a s¹ and the third letter could be a k rather than a h.
