Interpretation

Commentary
The n of bn is much longer than one would expect, resembling a l. The first letter of the patronym is difficult to see, but seems to be a faint V shape. The second letter is partially concealed by damage, but seems to a ḫ, with an extraneous mark on the left of the letter. The final letter looks like a s¹, but one would not expect the name s¹ḫs¹. A reading of b has been provided, which corresponds with a gyz bn s¹ḫb in KRS 104 and 2447. Josef Bloomfield
