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.
