Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- BRCM: nfl for ns²l; [w] ʿl- tḥs¹n for ʿl- tḥs¹n; s²mln for s²ml; ġny for ----y.
- Commentary
- The ʾ in the first two names is like a ḫ. Presumably, tḥs¹n was the author's son, hence no w between bn-h and the following ʿl-. For ʾws¹ as an imperative "grant a boon" see Al-Jallad & Jaworska.
