Commentary
The text starts at the base of the foot of the tripod which is below s¹nm w ʿl ʾnʿm in 5722.1, running up one edge (l tm bn {ẓ}ʿn w), across the top (wgm ʿl-) and down the other edge (ḥrb w ʿl- kʿb). It then continues up the inside of the leg (w ʿl- ḫld w ʿ), across the base of the platter (l- ʾḏnt w ʿl- mgdl w ʿ), before running down the side of the next leg (l- ʾfyr ḏ- ʾl ʿ) and ending on the inside of the leg (mt).
