Siglum

Transliteration
----lt bn ḥrt bn s¹ʿlh
Translation
----lt son of Ḥrt son of S¹ʿlh

Interpretation

Commentary
Bn s¹ʿlh is lightly scratched to the right of the t of ḥrt. It is possible that it belongs to BS 69, but there is plenty of space at the end of that inscription and there seems no reason why the author should have carved bn s¹ʿlh below the crack in the rock. On the other hand, if BS 69 predated BS 70 the author of the latter would have had to continue his text to the right to avoid carving over the last letters of BS 69.
