Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 370) commented: "The text is written down a ridge in the rock. There are shallow ligatures joining the second s² to the m, the m to the r, the r to the ḫ and the ḫ to one fork of the ʾ. After the proper name s²mrḫ, the text is written horizontally at right angles to the rest. There is a line going diagonally across the l, probably with the intention of joining it to the preceding ʾ and the following letter. The rock is chipped after the l and no letter is visible. Only two spokes of the ṯ are visible and the centre has been filled in. For this type of love text, see Ch.4.E.1".
