Text Information

Siglum
KRS 2331
Transliteration
l ʾnʿm bn ʾnʿm bn grmʾl bn ---- [t]s²wq ʾl- ʾḫ -h
Translation
By ʾnʿm son of ʾnʿm son of Grmʾl son of ---- {he longed} for his brother

Interpretation

Commentary
The rock is broken between the second bn and the begining of the word ts²wq. It is possible that the name wḥs² should be restored as the sequence ʾnʿm bn ʾnʿm bn grmʾl bn wḥs² occurs in KRS 2305 2350 and 2364. It is possible that this inscription is on the same rock as KRS 2332–2336.
