Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
KhBG 237: l ḫf bn dḥlt h- gm[l]
Commentary
It seems likely that the name dḥ{r}t should be read in KhBG 235 and 240-241 and from the photograph it seems most probable that a r should be read here in the patronym as well. The last letter is covered by an abrasion. The top photograph on p. 160 is of this inscription and not of KhBG 401 as stated in the edition.
