WH 1864

Text Information

Siglum
WH 1864
Transliteration
l mnh bn ʾhl bn gr[m]ʾl
Translation
By Mnh son of ʾhl son of {Grmʾl}

Interpretation

Commentary
A re-examination of the stone suggests that the first name is mny (as in WH) rather than mnh (as SIAM II p. 196). However the second name is again clearly ʾhl and the author has omitted the m in the final name.
