KJB 47

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 262–263) commented: "Below KJB 46. The second letter of the third name is obscured by hammering. I have restored a s¹ on the basis of the genealogy occurring elsewhere. There is a gap between the third and fourth names because of a crack in the rock. The s¹ of ms¹lm is written with a vertical stance in a horizontal text. Slightly above the final m there is a y which is shallower than the other letters and I have taken it as being extraneous. gḥf is not in Harding 1971, see Index a and see Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 1. gḥf occurs as well in KJB 28 on this rock".
