Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Corbett: qtbn rather than q{r}{ḥ}. DISCUSSION King (1990: 618–619) commented: "The reading of the second r and ḥ are doubtful. The text appears to be unfinished". Corbett (2010: 357) commented: "This patronymic is out of line with the rest of the text, presumably because the author was trying to avoid a large crack running parallel to the inscription".
Commentary: Photograh: Corbett 2010.
