Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: ʿmrʾl bn rather than ʿmrʾl bn tm. DISCUSSION King (1990: 655) commented: "The l at the beginning is clear. There is a possible t at the end, as in TIJ's copy, although it could be part of more recent shapes and marks that have been inscribed of the rock".
