- By Gḥfl son of H̲ld son of {Mʿll} son of ----
Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: "mʿll ?"
- Commentary
- The third letter of the final name could also be read as a d. This would produce a previously unattested but etymologically sound, name, mʿdl, while mʿll is known. WH suggest that this name could be read as mʿdn, but the final letter is clearly a l.
