- Translation
- By Zd {son of} Kḥy and he hastened from the Ḥawrān towards the new growth [and] water
Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: w bdr h- ʾf ml m- ḥrn - and he hastened towards the new growth having become tired of the Ḥawrān.
- Commentary
- The central stroke of the fourth letter is identical in form to the rest of the letter but it is different from the ḥ of kḥy in that the central stroke does not project. It was presumably an error by the author for b. The letter read as l in WH after ʾ f m is clearly a y. Could h- ʾfmy be ʿthe Apamaeanʾ??
