Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: rġg rather than rġḍ. DISCUSSION King (1990: 660) commented: "TIJ 169 and 170 are on the same rock as TIJ 148-154. The reading in TIJ is correct (allowing for re-evaluation of the two concentric circles). The line going across the arms of the ḏ is extraneous".
