KhBG 382: l gnʾl bn ----
Commentary
The letters bn are written next to the initial l and the following g and it is rather uncertain where they belong. It is possible a compound name "bngnʾl" should be read or maybe this inscription should be read as the patronym written as an afterthought of s²ddt the author of KhBG 383. However as the editor points out that would not explain the apparent initial l before the g. It seems less likely that the bn should be read after the name gnʾl as in the edition. The copy seems to suggest the inscription continues.
