Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 340) commented: "Written to the right of KJC 168. The final bn and last name are written in careless letters whereas the rest of the text is very neatly inscribed. The names ḥzbr and zdqm are not in Harding 1971. The second bn before the name ʾʿbd is dittography. See Index a and Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 3, for other occurrences of the genealogy. KJC 188 on this rock is by ḥzbr’s brother".
