Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: ḍny for ẓny; Sima: [l]nʿ [l]rʾl rather than [m]nʿ [ḏ]rʾl. Line 3. Sima: ---- [bbn]ʾl {w} rather than ----ʾl f ----. Line 2. Abū l-Ḥasan: ṭll h- ṭll rather than ʾẓll h- ẓll. TRANSLATION Line 2. ʾẓll h- ẓll, Sima: '(he) covered the water-channel'. Line 3. bʿd, Sima: 'in the direction of'. DISCUSSION Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2014: 15–16, for the place name Bd[r]. Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.
Commentary
The second part of line 1 is difficult to read and therefore any transliteration can only be hypothetical (Sima 1999: 39). The reading here is based on Abū l-Ḥasan's copy (1997: 467, pl. 9).
