Abu Duruk ANA 5

Siglum
Abu Duruk ANA 5
Transliteration
{f}{ʾ}----ʾl b {l}{k}f{r}
Translation
{Fʾ----ʾl} son of {Lkfr}

Interpretation

Commentary
The published image is drawn from a squeeze and has not been reversed (Abu Duruk 1986: 67), so the inscription runs in the opposite direction to that which appears on the plate! The reading of the first letter as ʿ should not be excluded.

Provenance
Located at Qaṣr al-Ḥamrāʾ: found on southern side of wall L inside room 4 in the same level as Abu Duruk ANA 1.
