- Commentary
- The inscription is carved on a limestone bowl with short handles at the base and (broken off) at the rim: diameter at the rim is 16 cms, at the base is 12 cms, and it is 9.5 cms high. The text is carved around the lower part of the outer face, running from the left side of the lower handle all round the bowl ending at the right side of the handle. The correct position of bn ys¹lm is difficult to judge since it is carved at right angles to the rest of the text below the t of ḫbʾt. It could either be the father of ḫbʾt which the author had omitted and then added, or it could be the father of ms¹k, whose name was already up against the handle, with the space immediately below possibly already occupied by AKSJ 1.5.2.
