- By S²ḥl son of Ġs¹m son of ʾḥrb son of Ms¹k son of Ẓʿn son of S²rb and he found the inscription of {Ḥml----}
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The end of the inscription was underground when it was found and the letters are rather faint. It is likely that the name ḥmlt should be restored after the word s¹fr. The author of KRS 1971 says he found the writing of Ḥmlt and 1975 is by Ḥmlt which might be the inscription which is mentioned.
