Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 254) commented: "There is a crack and chip in the rock over part of the twelfth letter. I have restored ʾ on the basis of ʿlt bn ʾmn occurring in KJB 7 on this rock. Neither ʾs²s² or ʿlṭ are in Harding 1971, see Index a for other occurrences of the names and see Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 4. KJB 7 is probably by ʾs²s²’s brother and KJB 8 is possibly by the same man".
