Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 283) commented: "To the right of KJB 128. The author has made a mistake after the g and hammered out the letter. The ʾ and t at the end are written to the right to avoid a slight hole in the rock. ngʾt occurs in KJB 142 on this rock. For texts using nyk, see Ch.4.E.2. For mrʾt, cf. Ar. marʾah ‘a woman’".
