- WH: l ṣʿb [b]{n} ḏʾb bn nʿmn bn ---- for ---- bn ṣʿb bn ḏʾb bn nʿmn bn kn
- Commentary
- The BES18 photograph shows that there was a name + bn before ṣʿb. The bn is clear and a n before it. There is a possibility that the name was nʿmn, but this is very uncertain. The photographs also show that the text ends with kn.
