WH 3208.2

Siglum
WH 3208.2
Transliteration
l ʿly bn ʿbdt bn br----
Translation
By ʿly son of ʿbdt son of Br

Interpretation

Commentary
The sixth letter is identical to the second and quite different from the thin short line of n in bn. It therefore must be a ʿ. There is nothing between this ʿ and the preceeding b so this must be a clear case of b for bn. The final letter though visible is unintelligible.
