KJC 321

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 373) commented: "The two l’s at the beginning are joined up to form a loop. The fork of the h and the centre of the ṯ have been filled in. The bottom fork of the ʾ has been joined. The b and n of bn have been joined to form a circle and the s¹ is linked to the l in the second name by shallow hammering extending from one of the arms and a second hook has been added to the l to join it to the m. lhṯ does not occur in Harding 1971. For other occurrences of the names, see KJB 30 and KJC 750".
