Text Information

Siglum
KRS 1510
Transliteration
l ḏbb bn ----bdʾl w wgm ʿl- ḥbb ʿl- yṯʿ qtl
Translation
By Ḏbb son of ----bdʾl and he grieved for a friend for Yṯʿ [who had been] killed

Interpretation

Commentary
It is difficult to read the beginning of the second name as there is a slight hammer mark and scratching over the letter. The sequence ḏbb bn bdʾl occurs in the genealogy of KRS 710 and ḏbb bn bydʾl occurs in KRS 519 and 520. It is possible the author wrote a letter and then scratched it out. This inscription and KRS 1511-1513 are surrounded by a cartouche.
