- LP 328: w wgd s¹fr ḥbb f ngʿ "and he found the inscription of Ḥbb [Or: of a friend] and longed [for him]"
- Commentary
- If the author of the inscription which was found was indeed called ḥbb, it would be a remarkable coincidence that the finder also bore this name. There is even the possibility that the inscription found was also by the author of the present text.
