KJB 58.1

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 266) commented: "The text is written down directly on from KJB 58 which suggests it might be a continuation of that text. There are, however, clear unambiguous examples where one text is inscribed immediately after the end of another, see Ch.2.G, and it is more likely on the present evidence that these are two separate texts rather than one text for s²ṣr inscribed by gml".
