Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 311–312) commented: "Part of the ḥ of the second name has been hammered over and only a curve of the m is protruding from the leg of the camel. The middle letter of the last name is completely obscured by a recent drawing of a camel. I have restored a r on the basis of the name occurring elsewhere, see Index a".
