Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: JaS: s¹hy for s¹{h}y; w s²tw b yʿmw "And he has spent the winter at Yʿmw" for w mʿyb w ts²w[q]; JMAA XIV p. 195: where JaL 175 is a misprint for JaS 175. Comments on the (supposed) place name being written in larger letters than the rest of the text.
Commentary: It is possible the second letter of the second name is a k. The last part is read in the opposite direction to that read by JaS which seems the most likely interpretation given the position of the letters. There is quite a large gap between the end of the third name and the w which suggests that some letters are missing from the copy or that possibly w mʿyb w ts²w[q] belong to another text the beginning of which has not been copied. The letters w mʿy are drawn in the copy with a double outline suggesting that they are inscribed in a different technique to the other letters of the text.
