- WH 136: whblh for {w}hb
- Commentary
- On the photograph, it looks as though the n of bn has been lost in the damage to the following letter. WH read the second name as whblh however, the marks they read as lh are non-descript hammerings above the second b, whereas there is plenty of room for the text to have continued in a straight horizontal line after the b. On the photograph, there are other faintly scratched texts which cannot be read with any certainty. [MCAM]
