Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: h bʿs¹mn blḥ {ʾ}ḫ "O Bʿls¹mn {ʾḫ} is weary"
Commentary
The inscription is thinly incised and begins immediately above the beginning of WH 2469. It is much longer than seen by WH and runs up to the third letter of WH 2472 and then down again where 2472 has been carved over it. Unfortunately, this has made it very difficult read.
