Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 388) commented: "fṭ is not in Harding 1971. ʾrs² bn ʾftḥ occurs in KJC 380 on the top of this rock and in KJC 269 and 576. It is possible that the same name was intended here but, having left out the ʾ and the t, the author did not bother to emend the text or complete the ḥ by giving it a tail".
