Apparatus Criticus
KhBG 494: l ḫbṣ bn ʾḥs¹n h- dmyt
Commentary
There are three prongs at the bottom of the sign read as a ṣ and it is possible they do not belong to the letter. If that is the case the name should be read as ḫby. The following letter has a slight tail and the n is a rather long line with a double line. The ḥ is written slightly below the s¹ and n and was either left out and then added later or else the s¹ and n were written above because there was not enough room.
