Text Information

Siglum
NSR 56.2
Transliteration
l b{n}ʾ b{n} bns¹ʿdt ḏ- ʾl s¹ʿd w rʿy
Translation
By Bnʾ son of Bns¹ʿdt of the lineage of S¹ʿd and he pastured

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: bnʾbl bn s¹ʿdt for b{n}ʾ b{n] bns¹ʿdt. MNH p. 356: on ʾl s¹ʿd.
Commentary
It is possible that NSR is correct in reading the sixth letter as l as there is little difference in the lengths of the n's and the l. The beginning of the text could equally read l bnʾbn bn s¹ʿdt. There is an incomplete cartouche.
