Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 359) commented: "The y here is not carved very distinctly, although it likely had a small tail, as in text #2. Texts #1 and #2 would appear to repeat each other, both referring to the drawing of an ibex to the right (a1). Interestingly, the artist refers to the animal with the more typically Aramaic word for ibex, ʾyl".
