By Ḫr son of Rbʾl son of Ḥmlt and he found the traces of his paternal grandfather and his father's mother and so he grieved in pain and so, O Gdʿwḏ [grant] security and blind whoever scratches out the inscription

Interpretation

Commentary
The expression ʾb ʾm-h is interesting since it implies that there was no separate word for a maternal grandfather parallel to ʿm for paternal grandfather. It occurs again in SIJ 711 and AWS 395.
