Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: ----nʾktb for ----ʾktb. Line 2. Abū l-Ḥasan: ms¹/---- for ms¹{d}. Line 3. Abū l-Ḥasan: ʾṭll h- ṭl for ʾẓlw h- ẓ{l}[l]. Line 5. Abū l-Ḥasan: [hm] at the beginning of this line. Line 6. Abū l-Ḥasan: ʾbd for {ʾ}----{d}. DISCUSSION Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.
Commentary: The inscription is broken on the left and right sides, and at the bottom, but it is not clear from the photograph it is also broken at the top. Line 6 begins in relief, like the rest of the text, but after the third letter the rest of the line is incised. The reason for this is unclear, given that there was sufficient space to finish the text in relief.
