Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: ṯryt bn ʿbd bn hml w ṯryt rather than gryt bn ʿbd bn hml w gryt. TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 658) commented: "ʿbd has been partially scored out. The third name is hml rather than hms² as might be suggested by the copy in TIJ. The rock is covered with drawings in addition to the inscriptions".
