Interpretation

Commentary: There is a hammer mark after the fourth bn and it seems likely that the author made a mistake and then crossed out what he had written. The sequence ṣʿd bn ʿlyn bn mrwn recurs in KRS 1567 and ṣʿd bn ʿlyn bn ----wn in KRS 1233. The author has omitted the l of ʿl before the name qdm and there is an abrasion after the l of the deity's name. From the shape of the damage it is most likely that the damaged letter was a t. For the translation of ḫll see Al-Jallad 2015: 319.
