Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 212) commented: "Underneath KJA 149. The text is damaged and the letters indistinctly inscribed. There is a cartouche surrounding the inscription. Only a ḥ is legible of the first name and the following bn is completely obscured. yb is not in Harding 1971. No n of the final bn is visible and the back of the k is unclear. ks¹y is not in Harding 1971".
