Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: ḥbb for ḥrb.
- Commentary
- WH read the final name as ḥbb but the r is quite distinct from the b. They also show in their copy and mention in their commentary that "there is a stick-figure of unusual form", but it is clear from the photograph that the drawing is of a male camel. There are a few stray letters on the face but the do not seems to be inscriptions.
