- Translation
- By Ḍḥy son of ʾs¹wr and he was obedient as a hired man and so O Rḍw [grant] his share of his {pay}
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The reading of the second ʾ is rather doubtful as one of the prongs of the letter is indistinct and it is possible it should be read as a h. For ʿnw cf. Arabic ʿanā (√ ʿNW) “he was obedient, submissive” (Lane 2178b).
