Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: mrʾṣq bn ---- rather than mrʿg{d} bn {ḥ}rs¹. DISCUSSION King (1990: 664) commented: "The fifth letter is definitely a g and not ṣ. The sixth letter looks like a q but the horizontal line does not go though the circle and it could well be a d. The copy suggests a ḏ for the first letter of the second name. Unfortunately it is not at all clear on the photograph, possibly it should be emended to ḥrs¹".
