TRANSLATION Jobling offered as alternative translation: "by the daughter of Hdt". DISCUSSION King (1990: 617) commented: "The reading of this seems clear on the photograph, although I would read it as a compound name rather than translate bt as daughter. The name would nevertheless be feminine and parallel to masculine names compounded with bn".
