WH 3577
Transliteration
l ḥrr bn mrʾ
Translation
By Ḥrr son of Mrʾ

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: mʿrʾ for mrʾ
Commentary
There is small circle between the two r's of the first name and between the m and the r of the second. WH ignore the first and take the second as a ʿ. However they are both probably extraneous additions.

Provenance
WH Cairn 46 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
