Interpretation
- Commentary
- The sixth and seventh letters are hammered over and are rather indistinct. Only part of the second loop of the ṯ is visible and the q is completely missing because of a chip in the rock. The name ṯqbt is restored on the basis of the name dyrt bn ṯqbt occurring in SIJ 244.
