Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 267) commented: "On the lower part of the rock. bn ʿnʾl is written above and to the right of the rest of the text and should either be read as extension of the genealogy after ġṯlh or at the end of the text. For instances where the genealogy is continued at the end of a text see, for example, KJA 44, KJA 198. ġṯlh is not in Harding 1971. For this type of love text, see Ch.4.E.1".
