Text Information

Siglum
WH 45
Transliteration
l gʿl bn lʾn bn mṣy bn----
Translation
By Gʿl son of Lʾn son of Mṣy son of ----

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: l gʿl bn lʾn bn mṣybn
Commentary
The name "Mṣybn" is dubious and unattested; it seems preferable to take the third name as mṣy followed by bn, and to regard the inscription as incomplete.
