Interpretation

Commentary
It is difficult to know how to interpret the second occurrence of bn wqr. It is lightly scratched on the rock above the last two names of the text. The letter read as the n of bn is a long line. If it is the continuation of the genealogy then it is strange the author did not write it after the first occurrence of wqr where there is sufficient space. It is possible it was left out of the middle of the genealogy and should be inserted after mḥlm.
