Interpretation
- Commentary
- b{ʾ}s¹h: Damage obscures the bottom of the second letter and the lower-left leg looks similar to the hook of a ṣ. Nevertheless, the letter is almost certainly a ʾ. {ʿ}lhm: The ʿ is obscured by damage but a small circle is visible through the damage in the enhanced photographs. The genealogy has been attested three times previously (C 3147; WH 730, 832).
