TRANSLATION Corbett: "Wʾl son of ʾmtʿz[y]". DISCUSSION Corbett (2010: 355) commented: "This poorly incised text is carved in two parallel columns. The initial alif of the patronym was carved at the bottom of the left column and the name was then continued from the bottom of the right column. This inscription also spells the patronymic ʾmtʿzz instead of the more common ʾmtʿzy. The name wʾl son of ʾmtʿzy is found several other times in this collection (R232.02, 07-0001-01.08)".
