KJA 298

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 240) commented: "The bn and the patronymic is written under the first part of the text. There is a crack in the rock separating the tail of ḏ from the rest of the letter. A slight abrasion covers the tail of the s¹ of possibly the letter should be read as a r. ḏlhs¹ and s²ʿlh are not in Harding 1971 although the latter name occurs in WAM T 12, see the Index of names. For texts of simple authorship with an introductory w, see Ch.4.A.3".
