KhBG 146: l mtʿʾl bn ḫṭbn
Commentary
The editor's reading seems unlikely because of the position of the letters. On the otherhand it is difficult to know from the copy how the letters should be read. After the bn there are the letters lʾ slightly below the n. Above the name mtʿ there is a letter read by the editor as a ḫ but which has a wavy tail. There is a ṭ and then a possible b facing in the opposite direction and then two short lines.
