Interpretation
- Commentary
- The initial l is covered by abrasions. The penultimate letter might be a r although one arm is at a strange angle and the other is not quite attached to the line. The second ʿ is on the edge of the rock and it is unclear whether or not the inscription continues on another face. If it does not and the reading of r is correct, it is possible that the letters are a metathesis of the name ʿr. The sequence of names ṭḥrt bn ḍbʿ bn s¹ḫ{b} bn ʿr occurs in KRS 734. There are some lines going through the inscription.
