Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jobling: rṯʿ rather than rgʿ. DISCUSSION King (1990: 613) commented: "The last letter of the third name looks like a k in the photograph but the name ḥbb is clear in AMJ 45 which has the same genealogy. The end of the text cannot be checked from the photograph".
