Interpretation

- TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: b{n}l for b{l}l. TRANSLATION Line 2. ʾgw b- khl, Abū l-Ḥasan: '(he) offered in the month Khl'; Sima: '(he) covered (the subterranean water-channel) by his abilities'. DISCUSSION Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2014: 20–22, for the place name Khl. Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.
- Commentary
- Line 1: The second letter looks like a carelessly carved ḫ (compare the example at the beginning of line 2). Line 2. The carver misplaced the word-divider before the w rather than after it, thus ʾg/w b- khl for ʾgw/b- khl
