WH 41

Text Information

Siglum
WH 41
Transliteration
l ʾny bn dmṯ{r}
Translation
By ʾny son of {Dmṯr}

Interpretation

Commentary
The final letter is identical in shape to the lām auctoris but could equally well be a r. However in view of the clearer examples of dmṯr in WH 882 and ISB 373 this is the more likely reading. On the etymology see ISB 121 comm and BRISB p. 220. [MCAM]
