Interpretation
- Commentary
- The inscription is carelessly incised. The left side of the inscription cannot be read clearly on the photoraph. The text is very close to U 037, but was not published by Sima 1999. Line 3. The verb ʾ[ẓ]ll means "he performed the ẓll-ceremony", the exact nature of which we do not know. Usually, but not always, this verb is followed by the noun h-ẓll meaning "the ẓll-ceremony". Thus, ʾ[ẓ]ll and ʾ[ẓ]ll h-ẓll both mean "he performed the ẓll-ceremony".
