Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the patronym has a circular shape on one end, resembling a ṣ. It also has what appears to be a hammered line following a crack in the stone, making the letter resemble a ʾ. The reading here assumes that both of these are mistakes by the author and that the name is the commonly attested hnʾ. Josef Bloomfield
