Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 247) commented: "The text is damaged by chipping and some of the letters have been joined up and filled in with rough hammering. The restoration of the letters is based on the genealogy occurring elsewhere, see Index a and Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 2. In the first name on of the forks of the ʾ is joined to the n and the ʿ is attached to the n and the m by short hammer marks. The first b is small and rounded compared to the other instances of the letter in the text. The following n is covered by a chip. Only the b of the second name and a small part of the third letter remain. The letters of the last name are joined together with a line going from the middle of the m to the crossbar of the t and from the other side to the final letter which has been completely filled in".
