Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Jobling: s¹k mt rather than l tmʾl.
Commentary: King commented: "Jobling (1984) read 39 and 39s as l ftḥt bn ʿšk 'ftḥt son of ʿšk has died'. There is clearly a l before the f on the published photograph and I would read the first nine letters as one text. It is either unfinished or possibly a further letter is obscured by the long hammered line after the ʿ. The remaining letters are inscribed in a different technique to those above and do not belong to them. They should be read from right to left as l tmʾl. The l before the t is clear on the photograph".
