Apparatus Criticus
C: [l] (m)s¹k {ḏ-} {ʾ}(l) qmr (f) h gd[ʿ](w){ḏ} [s¹][l][m] mn ḏ ḫrṣ (-h) "{By} {Ms¹k} {of the} {lineage of} Qmr {and} O {Gdʿwḏ} [grant {security} from him who is watching for {him}".
Commentary
The copy is too confused to allow any coherent reading. C's attempt requires so much emendation that it is not convincing.
