- l gz(){z} bn ʿm bn dd w ḫrṣ f h yṯ(ʿ) rwḥ
- Translation
- By {Gzz} son of ʿm son of Dd and he is on the look-out so, O {Yṯʿ}, [grant] calmness.
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The fifth letter is unconvincing as a t and is more likely a z in which case the “n” may be a stray scratch. WH show the ʿ of yṯʿ as restored but it appears as a w on the copy.
