Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is written in between KRS 788 and the thighs of the woman in the drawing. It is badly damaged and after the initial l there is room for several names. One line of the letter read as s¹ is damaged. It is unclear whether the text continues after the m or whether there are any letters at the end of KRS 790. It is quite likely that the end should be read h- ġlmt "the slave-girl" referring to the drawing.
