BES20 242

Siglum
BES20 242
Transliteration
l ms¹k bn s¹ʿ{d}ʿzz
Translation
By Ms¹k son of {S¹ʿdʿzz}

Interpretation

Commentary
The name S¹ʿdʿzz has not previously been found. It is possible that the letter that appears clearly like a d should actually be read as a l, with an extraneous mark in the middle. The father of Ms¹k would in this case read as s¹ʿr, reading the shallow thick crescent covering part of BES20 243 as a r. This would mean that {l} ʿzz would be a separate inscription.
