Apparatus Criticus
WH 121: l zmhr bn ʾs¹ bn s¹lm bn ẓby bn mlkt bn s²k bn gg bn {r}{f}ʾt bn ḍhd bn {s¹}{w}r; WH 122b: l ḥlm bn ----- fʾtgs²m{y}l
Commentary
WH take the last three names as a separate text WH 122.2 and make WH 121.1 the end of this text. [MCAM] WH 122b's {y} is clearly a ḏ on the photograph and the final l is more likely an r.
