NSR 6.1

Text Information

Siglum
NSR 6.1
Transliteration
l ʿṭs¹ bn ʾʿbd bn dṯṯ{n} w ḫyṭ
Translation
By ʿṭs¹ son of ʿʾbd son of {Dṯṯn} and he journeyed without stopping

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: w dṯʾ for bn dṯṯ{n}. JaS 48.2: bn dṯṯn for bn dṯṯ{n} and instead of w ḫyṭ read w ḫlyṭ "and (there was) a large crowd".
Commentary
The arms of the b after ʾʿbd have been joined to form a circle cf the joining of the l and h in the first name of NSR 6.2 . The n of dṯṯ{n} is a dash but the other n's of the text are dots. The line read as l by JaS in ḫlyṭ is extraneous.
