KJC 67

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 315) commented: "For this type of love text, see Ch.4.E.1. The arms of the r are extended and attached to the back of the b and the arms of the b have been lengthened to join the s². The centre of the q has been completely filled in. The first and last letters of the name after the preposition b have also been hammered in and are illegible. The following l is most probably the preposition li ‘for’ which also occurs after the expression rbt s¹qm b N in KJA 232. The first letter of the following word is covered by an abrasion but two b’s are legible at the end. The word is probably a name or perhaps ḥ should be restored in the place of the chip and the substantive ḥbb ‘a loved one’, Ar. ḥabīb, read which would fit the context well".
