Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP: reads zʿb bn at the end and takes the inscription as incomplete but in the commentary suggests that if the inscription is complete the name at the end might be read zʿbrn. JSafN p.101: reads zʿr rn at the end "he has cried out loudly". RyLPAdd p.350: zbrn for the last name.
Commentary
The hammered dot read as ʿ is in a different technique to the other letters of the text and might with other hammered dots nearby be extraneous. There is sufficient room however between the z and b for another letter. The first b of the text is square and the second is rounded. There are traces of a scratched cartouche surrounding this inscription and H 79. It is possible that this should be identified with LP 954. See the commentary on K 171.
