TEXT Harding & Littmann: ʾṯml bn --- rather than ʾgml bn khl. DISCUSSION King (1990: 665) commented: "The first name was read ʾgms² by Macdonald 1986: 137, n. 43. The hook of the second l is not very distinct on my photograph but quite clear in the copy. The last name is just visible on the published photograph, it is written slightly to the right of bn".
