Text Information

Siglum
KRS 951
Transliteration
l {ḍ}bʿ bn s¹ḫb bn ʿr{t} bn zdʾl w rʿy h- s¹r
Translation
By {Ḍbʿ} son of S¹ḫb son of {ʿrt} son of Zdʾl and he pastured the valley

Interpretation

Commentary
The first part of the text is covered by abrasions but two line are visible and it seems likely that a ḍ should be restored. The t in the third name is doubtful as the cross line seems to be shallower than the rest of the letter and it is possible that it is an extraneous scratch.
