Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 278) commented: "The text starts underneath KJB 109 and curls round. The tail of the k of knn has chipped away. The final bn and name has been lightly hammered on to the rock in a different technique to the rest of the letters of the inscription. Below the s¹ of s¹ry is a l and below and to the right another l. The chip in the rock after the latter might obscure another text. zdqm and bnʾmt are not in Harding 1971. For occurrences of hnʾ bn zdqm, see Index a and see Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 3".
