Interpretation

This person is the father of the author of BES19s 71.1. Due to space limitations they had to stagger the lettering to spell out the name Lṭmt. The letters /n/ /m/ and /l/ are just barely visable, after the bn for "son of" that comes right after the name ʿmm. The name after Nml, with high degree of probability is s¹ḫr, the angle of the glyph for the s¹ is clear enough, the remaining letters can be inferred if we assume that this is the genealogy "lṭmt bn ʿmm bn nml bn s¹ḫr" which appears in three other inscriptions: BES15 1084, BES20 106, and KRS1579. If s²mt is this person's brother, then his nephews would be the authors of KRS 1578 and KRS 1581.
