Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 198) commented: "On the right side of the rock. The beginning is written downwards with the rest of the text surrounding it. After the second name the inscription continues to the right up the rock and then turns down on the left of the beginning. The initial l of KJA 82 is written between the sixth name of the inscription and the bn of the seventh. The names ġrṭm, ʾgnt and mqẓ are not in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences of ġrṭm bn nht bn ʾġnt".
