Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
RyDamas 13093: ḫbgt for ḫbʿt
Commentary
The inscription is carved on the outer side of a limestone beaker, 5.7 cm in diameter and 7.2 cm in height. The form of the ḏ suggests that the script is Hismaic in which case the penultimate letter must be a ʿ rather than a g.
