- WH 1677 a: l kḥs¹mn bn ẓnn bn s²ʿr bn gnʾl w wgd ʾṯr; WH 1677b: ----w ʿwn f ḍʿf h- ḫl bʿd h- nʿm "...and he helped. And the horses were weak behind the grazing livestock"
- Commentary
- This inscription was published as WH 1677 a and 1677 b. It runs round the edges of the stone and in some places is very difficult to make out. We are unable to offer a satisfactory explanation for {h}{w}{g} w nfḍ ʿl-.
