Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: l ʾnw---- bn nr h- ʿr "The ass [?] is by ʾnw son of Nr"
Commentary
After the first four letters the text is scratched over but the reading seems certain even though it is difficult to interpret the last four letters. There is no drawing of an ass which might support WH's reading.
