KJC 713

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 452) commented: "The bn and patronymic are written diagonally below the first name. Part of the b is faint and uncertain. The name mṣry bn ft{ḥ} occurs in KJA 139 where the ḥ is very faint and s¹yr bn s¹lm bn ft in KJC 675 although the rock is chipped after the end of the latter text and the text possibly continues. There do not seem to be traces of a letter after the t in this text but the rock is worn and I think it is possible that ft[ḥ] should be restored here and in KJC 675. s¹lm in KJC 712 on this rock might be the father of s¹yr in KJC 675 and the patronymic might be supposed to be read with both mṣry and s¹lm, cf. bn ṯbr on Rock CDXLVII. The name ft, if that is the correct reading, is not in Harding 1971".
