Siglum
KRS 1610
Transliteration
---- bn tm h- nʿmt
Translation
---- son of tm is [the drawing of] the ostrich

Interpretation

Commentary
Incised down the right edge of the face. The first part of the inscription is covered by rubbing and lines. The use of the word nʿmt here implies that the author is claiming only one of the ostriches, in contrast to the author of KRS 1607 who uses the collective.
