Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann followed by Winnett: km bn ṯmhr w ḏkrt lt ġḍ w ḥrk w ʿrb w bkr w hnʾ w qnfḏ w wd w ḥmlṯ w qnfḏ w ṯmg rather than km bn gmhr w ḏkrt lt ġṯ w ḥbk w ʿbb w bkr w hlʾ w qnfḏ w wd w ḥmlg w qnfḏ w gmʿ; Harding, followed by Macdonald: hnʾ rather than hlʾ. DISCUSSION King (1990: 655) commented: "Apart for the re-readings in this text based on the re-evaluation of the signs for /ṯ/, /g/ and /ḍ/, hlʾ should be read for hnʾ (as in Harding 1971: 621 and Macdonald 1981: 158), ḥbk for ḥrk and ʿbb for ʿrb. In these last two names the letters read as r are more like the b's in the rest of the text".
