WH 3822
Text Information
- Siglum
- WH 3822
- Transliteration
- l ḥl bn {h}ʾ{ḥ}wr
- Translation
- By Ḥl son of Hʾḥwr
Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: yʾ{s¹}wr for {h}ʾ{ḥ}wr
- Commentary
- The third letter of the patronym is very similar to the first letter of the author's name and so has been read as ḥ. The last letter is curved, as opposed to the extremely straight l's in the text and would therefore seem more likely to be a r.
- 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.
