MA: khf for {b}hs²
Commentary
The first letter cannot be a k as read by ed. pr. since there is no cross-stroke nor can it be a l since these are simple straight lines in this text while this letter has a small curve at the very top. B seems the most likely reading cf. the b of bn berfore ʿqrb. The third letter of the name is clearlky a s² not a f. The second leter of the second name is unclear on the photograph which is out-of-focus. The reading ḫ in ed.pr. is just possible has been retained faute de mieux.
