Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: JaS: the text is read as the continuation of JaS 118.1 see under JaS 118.1.
Commentary: JaS reads this with 118.1 but the difference in the size of the letters and the uncertainty of JaS's reading of the letters after ḫlf in 118.1 makes it more likely that there are two separate texts. The above reading starts from the upper left hand part of the rock. The l ġ n and m as read by JaS are not visible in the slide but if the interpretation adopted here is correct then the beginning of the text would be covered by the abrasions. The last part of the text which is written on the same area of the rock is also illegible in the photograph. It is possible that the first letter of the fourth name is a circle with a dot but there seems to be a line a across the middle. The reading of the second letter of the fifth name is very uncertain. It might be a circle with a dot or simply a circle which would be read g.
