TEXT Harding & Littmann: ḫbṯt rather than ḫrgt. DISCUSSION King (1990: 656) commented: "This text was not found on the survey and there is no photograph. Nevertheless Winnett 1971: 445, no. 11 which also comes form ʿAyn Abū Naḫaylah (and not from ʿAyn Marayfiq as in the publication) has the name ḫrgt bn yḏr and it is possible that the last letter in the present text should be emended to r".
