Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Winnett: l ḫrṯt bn ʿḏr rather than l ḫrgt bn yḏr. DISCUSSION King (1990: 675) commented: "The eighth letter has a short tail (from a photograph taken on the survey) and the name reads yḏr".

Provenance
This text comes from ʿAyn Abū Nakhaylah (3049 II 335723) and not ʿAyn Marayfiq as in the edition (King 1990).
