Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jaussen & Savignac followed by van den Branden: ḏyṣlm rather than zyṣlm. TRANSLATION Winnett: 'A foul god in Ṣalam'; Eskoubi: 'ʾl is with the aspect of (in the form of) Ṣlm'; Kootstra: 'Strength is with those of ṣlm'.
Commentary
The word-divider is a dot below the line of the text between the b and the l.. Eskoubi reads the third line of JSTham 545+546+549 (i.e. JSTham 549) as the first part of Esk. 83 despite the fact that the script is quite different from that of JSTham 548 (which he reads as the second part of Esk. 83). Hayajneh reads this text at the end of line 3 in JSTham 545+546+549. He interpreted it as: 'In this Ṣlm (?)'.
