Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: tmmh for ṯmmh. Line 2. Abū l-Ḥasan ḥḫl rather than ḥẓl.
Commentary
Line 2. The symbols representing the letters ḫ and ẓ are very similar in Dadanitic and can be easily confused. However, since ḥḫ would be an impossible combination in Semitic, and the personal name ḥẓl is already attested in the Dadanitic (see U 024/1, U 078 and U 086), the reading is clear.
