TEXT Harding & Littmann: ʾnṯys² bn drs¹ rather than ʾgys² bn drs¹ bn ʾgys². DISCUSSION King (1990: 655) commented: "Read with TIJ 63. The first n read by TIJ is a natural pit in the rock. Since the publication of TIJ the rock face has been used for firing practice and the initial l and most of the first ʾ have been obliterated".
