Text Information

Siglum
KRS 513
Transliteration
l s¹{y} bn mhr bn {ḥ}nn bn ʾbgr bn {ṣ}rmt
Translation
By S¹y son of Mhr son of {Ḥnn} son of ʾbgr son of {Ṣrmt}

Interpretation

Commentary
The loop of the third letter is rather damaged and one prong of the ḥ is damaged. If the reading of the first letter of the last name is correct then it has an unusual stance as it has been turned 90° to the rest of the text. It is interesting that the names mhr bn ḥnn bn ṣrmt bn ʾbgr occur in KRS 207 and it is possible that one or other of the authors has got the last two generations muddled up.
