KJC 716

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 452–453) commented: "The beginning of both this text and KJC 716a are written diagonally up towards bn ṯbr and it is difficult to tell from the technique of inscribing or any other factors to which the bn and patronymic belong. Possibly ẓʿn and krh of KJC 716a are brothers and have written their patronymic once to be read with both their names cf. my suggestions for KJC 712-713. The letter I have read as ṯ is a rectangle with only short protruding lines forming the grid".
