- LP 313: s¹ḫr for s¹ḫb
- Commentary
- The last letter of the fifth name has a small abrasion at each end which may cover hooks making the name s¹ḫr as read by Littmann. However, if so, these would be far less pronounced than the hooks of the r's in s²br, s¹ry and ʾṯr and a careful examination of the original convinced us that the letter was b.
