Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
KhBG 139: trans. of the last part "and for Ḍbn son of ʿy".
Commentary
The last part of the inscription is rather unusual and it is possible that it should be read as a separate inscription although it would be difficult to explain the w. There is a further occurence of h- ḥyt below this text and it is not clear where the word belongs.
