TEXT Harding & Littmann: s²ḍʿ bn ʾzn for s²ṯʿ bn {ṣ}kt. DISCUSSION King (1990: 652–653) commented: "The reading of the last name remains doubtful, but the penultimate letter seems to be a k rather than a z and the last one a t. The reading is visible on the published photograph. The seventh letter was copied as an ʾ but the top fork seems to be joined in the photograph".
