Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Winnett: nzr w ḏrʿ rather than nẓr ḏk. DISCUSSION King (1990: 678–679) commented: "The curve read by Winnett 1971 which appears to run into the ḏ might be extraneous or might be a r following the k and completing the word ḏkr. There seem to be traces of another letter just before the chip in the rock".
