Interpretation
- Commentary
- Part of the rock has flaked away after the first t and only parts of the letters are visible. It seems most likely that a y should be restored and the word fty read and then it is possible that ḫl should be restored followed by a d. The loop of the second d is very faint. The author has written a s² instead of a f before h lt. For w ʾḍll b- ḏ gs² w g{d}h l- ṯnʿs²r ym see Al-Jallad 2015: 257.
