King (1990: 179) commented: "Starting to the left of the end of KJA 16. The last name is written curling back up. The f’s of the first and second names are of different shapes. There is a crack in the rock partly obscuring the tail of the ḥ of gḥfl. ftḥ is not in Harding 1971. For an occurrence of ftḥ bn gḥfl see KJB 172 and see Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 1".
