KRS 1006

Siglum: KRS 1006
Transliteration: {l} {s¹}---- bn s¹ny bn mḥnn [[]][[]] [[]] [[]][[]][[]] w wgm ʿl- ʾs¹ḫr
Translation: {By} {S¹}---- son of S¹ny son of Mḥnn and he grieved for ʾs¹ḫr

Interpretation

Commentary: The first name and following bn are partly covered by hammering. It is possible that s¹ny should be restored on the basis of s¹ny bn s¹ny bn mḥnn occurring in KRS 984 from the same site. There are some letters directly after the name mḥnn which have been scratched over. They appear to read w wg----mḏ. The g is written to the side of the other letters and the hammering completely obscures the next letter before the m. It seems likely that the author was going to continue the inscription in this direction and then changed his mind and wrote the second part of the text curving up the rock instead.
