Siglum
BES20 102
Transliteration
l s¹wd bn {ġ}yr bn ʿwr
Translation
By S¹wd son of {Ġyr} son of ʿwr

Interpretation

Commentary
{ġ}yr: The first letter seems to be a ġ with a flick on both ends of the line, rather than just the one side as one would expect. A reading of ṯyr is possible, but unattested.

Associated Signs
Cartouche, four sets of seven lines, two sets of seven dots
