Interpretation
- Commentary
- The beginning of the first name is faint. The third letter of the third name has the appearance of an ʾ with a thin line forming the upper fork. However, it seems most likely that this is a ḏ in which the third prong has been rubbed away as has the lower part of the following b. The sequence ʿwḏ bn nks¹ bn ʿmrt occur in KRS 449 and ʿwḏ bn nks¹ bn ʿmrt bn ʿmrt in KRS 1830.
