LP: l bnkf h- bt "This house [belongs] to Bnkf. JSafN p. 137: l bnk f hbt "By Bnk. And he was beaten [here]".
Commentary
The second b and line of the n run into each other giving the appearance of a k as read by LP and JSafN. It is unclear whether it is a deliberate attempt at joining or just inaccurate chiselling. The latter seems most likely. There is a cartouche partly surrounding the text.
