l s¹mk bn ẓll bn (q)mrn bn whbn

By S¹mk son of Ẓll son of {Qmrn} son of Whbn

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: ẓll for ẓrr
Commentary
The initial letter of the third name has a small dot for the circle and looks more like a d than a q. However, the genealogy ẓll bn qmrn bn whbn reccurs in WH 3455 where the q is clear.

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.
