Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. = = JaL 104b Line 2. JSLih 291: bn nmʾt bn ʾbʾlḥn for bn ngʾt/bn/ʾb/ʾlḥn. Jamme 1974: 88–89: JSLih 291/2 = JaL 104a bnngʾt/bn/ʾb/ṣlḥn "Bnngʾt son of ʾb [of the family of ] Ṣlḥn" for bn ngʾt/bn/ʾb/ʾlḥn "son of Ngʾt son of ʾb ʾlḥn"
Commentary
The second name on line 2 cannot be ʾbʾlḥn, as read by Jaussen & Savignac, since there is a word divider between ʾb and ʾlḥn. The is no justification for Jamme's reading of the ʾ of ʾlḥn as ṣ.
