Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- KhMNS: ṣʿd for ʿṣʿd
- Commentary
- The edition omits the first ʿ, even though it is clear on the copy. The name ʿṣʿd might be the result of phonetic coloring of an original ʾ under the influence of the neighboring emphatic. This inscription appears behind the gazelle described in Associated Drawings.
