Interpretation

Commentary
{ḥ}rs¹: The ḥ is partially covered by damage on the stone. The three prongs of the letter can be clearly seen on one side of the damage. The stone bears seven inscriptions by brothers, all sons of ḥrs¹. BES20 123 is by an author called ḥrs¹, possibly the father of the seven brothers. The brothers' inscriptions are all scratched and the possible father's is hammered.
