Siglum
WH 832
Transliteration
l ʾs¹wdʾ bn bʾs¹h bn ʿlhm bn qṭʿn bn hgml bn fk bn ḍf bn gnʾl
Translation
By ʾs¹wdʾ son of Bʾs¹h son of ʿlhm son of Qṭʿn son of Hgml son of {Fk}l son of Ḍf son of Gnʾl

Interpretation

Commentary
Despite the distinct curve at one end, the third letter in the name fkl must be a l not a r because the name at this part of the ḍf genealogy is fkl in SESP.U. 4 (where hgml and fkl have been reversed), C 2533 and 3160.
