- Translation
- By Qḏy son of Qdm son of Mfny son of Nʿmn son of Whb and he found the traces of his paternal uncle and so he was sad and he kept watch for ʾb from [the] inner desert and so [grant] security O S²ʿqm
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The h of s²ʿhqm has been omitted and it is possible that a h has also been left out after ʾb, and ʾb -h "his father" should be read. On the other hand, this may be one of a handful of examples of the divine name s²ʿ-h-qm spelt s²ʿqm, see for instance KRS 56, 399, 1342, etc.
