Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
DISCUSSION: Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.
Commentary
Line 2: The verb ʾẓ[l]l 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, ʾẓ[l]l and ʾẓ[l]l h-ẓll both mean "he performed the ẓll-ceremony".
