Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 191) commented: "The first name is written down the rock, the middle part of the text horizontally and the final part down the rock and then up. ḏbʾ is unattested as a name. The second and third names of the genealogy are the same as those in KJA 44 and elsewhere, see Index a and Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 4, suggesting that it is a metathesis for ḏʾb. See Ch.3.A.10 for other mistakes in the inscriptions. ḏ[ʾb] does not claim the drawing explicitly here but the standard is the same as that in Adr 17 and it seems likely that the composition is his, although possibly other authors on the rock are co-artists".
