SIJ Extra 43

Text Information

Siglum
SIJ Extra 43
Transliteration
l gml bn s¹nm<<>> b[n] rb<ʾ>l w wgm ʿ[l-] hḏmt
Translation
By Gml son of S¹nm {son of} {Rbʾl} and he grieved for Hḏmt

Interpretation

Commentary
The letters are clear but as it stands the text is curious. The author clearly omitted the l of ʿl and it is possible that he made other mistakes. Thus the second and third names appear on the original as s¹nm nb rbhl but it is probable that the author reversed the n and the b of bn and forgot one side-stroke of the ʾ. Cf. s¹nm in SIJ Extra 43 which is immediately above this text. Cf. also hʿḏmt bn s¹nm in SIJ Extra 42.
