LP 464

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: LP: ʿʾdt for ʿ{{b}}dt
Commentary: On the same face as LP 463 and the drawing of a horse. The second letter has been filled in and the third has had projections added it to turn it from a b to a ʾ. It seems that the author of LP 464 carved the drawing but that the author of LP 463 then appropriated the credit for the drawing by carving his name at such an angle that he could use the t of the original author's name and h- frs¹.

Associated Drawings: A drawing of a horse (according to the inscriptions) with some thing that looks like a bow on its tail.
Associated Inscriptions: LP 463 [= Is.R 135] (on this face); Is.R 136–137.1 (on another face); Is.R 138 (on yet another face)
