Siglum

Transliteration

Translation
By Bll son of Hrg

Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription initially appears to part of one continuous inscription, including BES20 245, particularly given that the lām auctoris of BES20 245 is within the scratched cartouche surrounding BES20 244. Nevertheless, the reading makes clear that the two are separate. A reading of the author's name as bnn would be possible, but bll has been suggested to the length of the l's compared to the n of bn.
