- Translation
- By Rbʿ son of Ḥrb son of {Rfʾt} son of Gml
Interpretation
- Commentary
- {r}fʾt: The first letter of this name has the long shallow curve of a r, but has a circle on one end. Upon close inspection, it appears that this apparent circle is damage that slightly continues along the curve of the stone. This would support a reading of the well-attested name rfʾt, rather than the unattested "yfʾt".
