DISCUSSION: Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2014: 15–16, for the place name Bdr. Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.

Commentary

Lines 1–2. The verb ʾẓll 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, ʾẓll and ʾẓll h-ẓll both mean "he performed the ẓll-ceremony".
