TEXT Jobling: ṯḥs¹ rather than gḥs². DISCUSSION King (1990: 613) commented: "The reading cannot be checked on the photograph. Jobling (1984: 199) has ṯḥs¹ for the first name where presumably the first letter should be corrected to g. Possibly s¹ is a misprint for s² in the text of the edition, gḥs² is a fairly common name in the Hismaic texts form this area, see the Index of names".
