Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 269) commented: "The inscription is written in a cartouche part of which, like the text, is neatly inscribed whilst the rest is roughly hammered. mġny bn hwn occurs in KJB 117 and it is possible that this text is by the same man and the w has been left out in the last name. The ibex referred to is to the right of the text".
