Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: w ḥf rather than {b}{n} wṭf. DISCUSSION King (1990: 658) commented: "The photograph is inadequate and the reading remains doubtful. There is a hammered circle after the d and perhaps bn should be restored. It is possible the last name should be read wḥf which occurs elsewhere".
