- By Nġft son of ʿm son of ʿly son of Ḥḍg and he found the writing of ʾḥlm and so {he cried} for his companion
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The text reads kby which seems most likely to be a metathesis for bky. It is difficult to know whether s²yʿ is singular or plural. The context suggests that it should be translated as the former.
