Interpretation
- Commentary
- The sequence gyz bn s¹ḫb bn ʿr occurs in KRS 519 and possibly in KRS 521 although in the latter text the r is doubtful. It is possible a r should be read here in the fourth name instead of a l as the lines are faint and something might be missing. The penultimate letter appears to be unfinished as the circle is not enclosed on one side of the crossbar.
