Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 254) commented: "Below KJB 6. The text curves up and then down to the right. The ʾ of the third name was left out and then added later above the n of the preceding bn. One of the arms of the second ṭ is not attached to the rest of the letter. The last letter of the text is uncertain. knn is only previously attested in Qat. and Sab. The names ʿlṭ, ṭyq and nṭt are not in Harding 1971. For other occurrences of the first two, see Index a and see Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 5. KJB 6 is probably by knn’s brother".
