- MDT 8: l ḫll bn ʿbn
- Commentary
- The ḥ read here is read in the edition as part of MDT 7 but the position and stance of the letter suggests that it belongs to this text which continues either on another face of the rock or on a piece of the rock that has broken off. The shape and stance of the second letter is more like a t than a ḫ. It is possible that the text is Hismaic as the n's are dots and the ḥ is typical of that script.
