Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 186) commented: "The first bn is written to the right of the rest of the text, most probably to enable the author to fit the remainder of his genealogy in between a crack and the edge of the rock. Part of the t of the last name is covered by an abrasion and the r has a somewhat extended arm".
