Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 314) commented: "This text opens with the standard curse formula lʿnt, but the subject is the otherwise unattested goddess mlkt. I follow Jobling in seeing this as another name for the goddess lt. The object of the curse is the PN dhr. It is possible that the effaced characters of text #4 continue this inscription. Below the k of the DN there is a later mark that slightly obscures the bottom bar of the letter".
