Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP: ʾrs²m for ʾbs²m and the last letter in the copy is a l which is emmended to n in the transliteration. HIn p.12: ʾbs²m for ʾrs²m. JSafN 164: Identifies this with C 4381.
Commentary
The l is joined to the ʾ at one end although it is not clear whether this is intentional or just careless hammering. There is a more recent wasm next to the inscription one line of which partly covers the s² and m.
