Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- The line numbers below refer to the OCIANA reading not that of Sima. TEXT Line 1. Sima: dṯʾ -h for {n}{ḫ}l -h. Line 2. Sima: b- t[qmm] for f rḍ -h.
- Commentary
- The first line is incised to the right of line 6 of U 058. The rock face is very damaged making several letters on the right side illegible. The lines are not aligned on the left side.
