Interpretation
- Commentary
- The initial letter of the first name and the third letter of the patronym are very similar (though the latter has a short line projecting from the angle which suggests it is a s¹) while the b's of bn and bkrt are more rounded. Neither s¹ʿy if that is the correct reading of the first name nor Mls¹ has not been found before but cf. Ar. saʿy “swiftness” (Lane 1366a) or sāʿin “a messanger” (ibid. 1367b-c) and Ar. mal¡s “smooth sleek” (ibid 2736a s.v. amlas) respectively. Associated drawing to be numbered.
