Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: btr bn bnḫḏr rather than b[n][t]rb bn ḫḏmn. DISCUSSION King (1990: 659) commented: "The third and fourth letters are damaged. The dot copied by TIJ after the second b seems to be shallower than the rest of the text. The m is certain, although covered by an abrasion. It is followed by a n".
