- Commentary
-
JaS reads this and JaS 71.3 as one text. However the name s²tyġt as read by JaS in 71.3 is difficult to explain and since the ġ is written slightly above the y it seems more likely that the letters from the ġ onwards are part of a separate text in which the preceding letters have not been drawn on the copy. Alternatively, it could be a continuation of JaS 71.2 with letters missing from the copy. The ʾ of the preposition ʾl- has been written slightly above the q, and the l has been left out altogether. For other examples of ts²wq used with deities see C 88 (w ts²[w][q] l- bʿls¹my), HaNSB 123 (w ts²wq ʾl- s²ʿqm w ʾl- ds²r), BLM.968.T/2 (ts²wq l- ds²r w lt), BLM.969.T/3 (ts²wq ʾl- ds²r).
