Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 326) commented: "On the left side of the rock, starting to the right of the second name of KJC 114. For love texts of this type, see Ch.4.E.2. The name mbʿl is not in Harding 1971, see Index a for other occurrences at these sites. For other love texts written by someone of that name, see KJA 188 and KJC 121a on this rock".
