Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 365–366) commented: "The rock has flaked away and the middle and end of the text have disappeared. It is possibly that bn tṣr bn- is part of a separate text, the beginning of which is no longer there. There are remains of what might be a small circle after the fifth bn. The first name and bn are a blackish colour and the second, third and fourth names of the genealogy are a light sandy colour. Neither whbʾḥwr or bẓry are in Harding 1971. ʿbdʾḥwr occurs in KJC 757, ʿbdʾlḥwr occurs in KJC 202 and tmʾḥwr in TIJ 323, see Ch.5.A.1.b for the element ʾḥwr".
