Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: The lineal name is read as ḥr. WAMS 2: {ḥ}r for ḥr and gl ʾhlh for ʿl ʾhlh which is translated as "the main body of his people". JMAA VII p.134 n. 82: ʿl should be read and not gl as in WAMS.
Commentary
It is difficult from the slide to be sure whether the ḥ is certain or not.
