WH 3659
Text Information
- Siglum
- WH 3659
- Transliteration
- l hʿf bn ʾṣbʿn
- Translation
- By Hʿf son of ʾṣbʿn
Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: zʿf for hʿf
- Commentary
- What WH took for the cross-stroke of the second letter is clearly a fork, thus h not z. The "sun-emblem" they mention (p. 506) and which is shown on their copy (pl. 64) is not visible on the photograph.
- 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.
