Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: JaS: l gs²[m bn -----]gb bn ʿbṯn [w wgm ʿl ----] for l gs²[----]gb bn ʿbṯn [----]; llʿz for {l}{l}ʿz.
Commentary: There is a misprint in JaS ' transliteration and in the translation. The w of wgm has been left out in the transliteration and the name whb has been given for wbb in the translation. The restorations made by JaS do not seem to be based on traces of letters on the rock and although they are possible they are not the only alternatives. The second letter of the name ġ{s²}m might be a f. The name llʿz as read by JaS is unlikely and there are three possible explanations. The two l's might be a bad copy of another letter as has been suggested here or the second l might be dittography of either the copyist or the author of the text.
