Text Information

Siglum
WH 3797.1
Transliteration
l rb{ʾ}{l} bn rbn
Translation
By {Rbʾl} son of Rbn

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: rg for rbn
Commentary
This text was published as WH 3797 b. Note that the r of rbn is lightly incised unlike the other letters which are carefully chiselled. WH's reading of the second name rg is also possible but what they read as g is almost identical to the bn between the names.

Provenance
WH Cairn 47 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
