Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Jamme 1971a: 69: read as the end of 5722.2: [w] [b][n][y] w wgm ʿl- mgdʾl. Jamme 1971b: 13: read as a separate inscription: ʿfw w wgm ʿl- mgdʾl
Commentary
A limestone tripod platter with a spout. It has been broken into three pieces and mended. This inscription is carved near the edge of the base of the platter, between two of the legs. It is difficult to make sense of the scratches between the initial l and w wgm, or to see how Jamme came to the reading ʿfw.
