Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jaussen & Savignac: ṣrh b qrd s¹ltmwʿ mtmmnʾ rather than [sign] ṣrḫ b qrd {ʾ}l tg----ʿ {g}tm gnʾ; Winnett reads only the genealogy; van den Branden: ṣlmrḫ b qrd s¹ltmwʿ mtmmnʾ rather than [sign] ṣrḫ b qrd {ʾ}l tg----ʿ {g}tm gnʾ; Eskoubi: s¹rtbʿf b tm gnʾ rather than {ʾ}l tg----ʿ/{g}tm gnʾ. TRANSLATION tm gnʾ, Eskoubi: (in) 'Taymāʾ, they both lived or married'.
Commentary
The reading was made from Eskoubi's photograph and Jauseen & Savignac's copy (1909–1920, ii, pl. CXLV). We are unable to provide a suitable translation of the second part of the text.

Associated Signs
At the beginning, (R-L) a straight vertical line followed by a Taymanitic b with a dot between the legs and one above, and a short slightly downwards diagonal line sticking outwards from the middle of the left leg.
