- Commentary
- The last letter of the first name looks like a h, but it seems likely that the side bar was added later since it is slightly wider than the long stroke. The last letter of the second name is also in doubt since the horizontal bar is much thicker than the vertical, and it is possible that the name was actually hḏn. We take ġzz as an active participle in the accusative of ḥāl.
