Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
CTBC: w ns¹ l mdbr "and he fled to the desert"; if there is an assimilation of the final radical of ns¹l with the preposition l- then this could be translated as "he hastened to the desert" as in WH 580. JMAA XIII p. 131: ns¹l mdbr "he hurried up in [the] desert".
Commentary
There is a dot next to the s¹ of the patronym. There is a line separating this inscription from CTBC 2.
