Transliteration: l {ʿ}tk bn ʾ{b}{w}k {w} {l- -h} [h-] frs¹

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: BRCM 33b: l ʿtk bn ʾbgr w [l]]h] frs¹
Commentary: The inscription is not clear on the photograph. The b in the second name has a small line protruding from one side making it look like a k. The line crossing the circle which follows comes out both sides making it look like a q and the same is true of the letter after the second name. Bikai says that the "lh is misplaced as if it were added later (2009: 230) and so we have included it here in { }. As very often, the definite article (h-) before frs¹ has been assimilated to the pronominal suffix (-h) immediately before it. A photograph of this stone was also published in Bikai 2005: 5.
