KRS 1409

Text Information

Siglum
KRS 1409
Transliteration
l mrʾ bn {ḥ}d bn ʾbgr w wgd s¹fr ----nn f ts²wq
Translation
By Mrʾ son of {Ḥd} son of ʾbgr and he found the writing of ----nn and so he yearned

Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the second name is very faint. The first letter of the name after the word s¹fr is not visible. It is possible that ẓ should be restored as KRS 1410 which is also on this rock claims to have found the writing of ẓnn and KRS 1407 is by someone called ẓnn which might be the inscription referred to.
