LP 430: bll for {kn}.
Commentary
Area A. The stem of the second letter of ẓnʾl is not as long as it appears at first glance. It was extended up in alignment with it and a more thinly scratched line running round the ẓ was then drawn to join it with the lām auctoris. The very thinly scratched line which crosses the g is extraneous. The third prong of the ḏ is joined to the previous letter. The reading of the last two/three letters is not completely certain: it is possible that the join between the curving part of the k and the vertical stem which follows is accidental (it continues beyond the vertical line and touches the last letter). However, the reading kn is confirmed by other examples of the gnealogy such as WH 1685 and KRS 1169. Five m's of various sizes have been incised on the same face of the stone four of them partly or completely covering the text.
