- TEXT Jobling: ḥdḍ rather than ḥdṯ[]. DISCUSSION King (1990: 611) commented: "There is a dot after the ṯ but it does not appear to be as definite as the rest of the letters. I think it is quite likely that this is a continuation of AMJ 20, judging by the technique of inscribing, although such a reading would only make sense on the assumption that AMJ 21 and 24 were inscribed first leaving ʾkbr little space to write his patronymic directly after his name".
