Interpretation

Commentary
The name following ṯlm is very confused as it overlaps with BES20 1014. The genealogy has previously been attested in MSTJ 3 and the name given there between ṯlm and s²ʿʾl is nqfn. The letters on the stone in BES20 1012 seem instead to be nkfn. This would suggest that the author has confused the letters q and k. Josef Bloomfield
