Interpretation

Commentary
The letter next to the m in the first name has been read as a l. It seems too shallow of a curve to be the b of bn. Nevertheless, the following letter that has been read as the b just seems to be a short straight line that has partially been covered by a small hammered circle. The letter following this shape is a longer vertical line, which could potentially be the n of bn, but is longer than one would expect. The name Ṭḥrt has previously been attested alongside gml in a number of inscriptions (e.g. KRS 684; Is.M 271) and appears at the same site in BES20 1389. Josef Bloomfield
