Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- ThNSSMAS: "ḫrṣ" for "ḫ{r}ṣ"; "nzr" for "ns²r". ThNSM.I 11: "ḫrṣ" for "ḫ{r}ṣ"; "zy" for "ns²r". ThNSM.II 7.1: as ThNSSMAS.
- Commentary
- The third letter might be a b as although it is smaller than the other b's in the text it is a different shape to the other letters read as r. It is possible that ʿzt should be translated as a substantive.
