Text Information

Siglum
KRS 1077
Transliteration
l nẓrʾl bn ms¹k bn {ḥ}ny bn ms¹{k} bn s²rb bn ġlm[t] w wgm ----
Translation
By Nẓrʾl son of Ms¹k son of {Ḥny} son of {Ms¹k} son of S²rb son of {Ġlmt} and he grieved ----

Interpretation

Commentary
Part of the ḥ is covered by an abrasion and the second k is rather faint. A t is not legible at the end of the sixth name but the space after the m and the fact that the names ms¹k bn s²rb bn ġlmt occur in KRS 1078 and KRS 1079 suggests it should be restored here. There are traces of letters after the word wgm but nothing is legible.
