Text Information

Siglum
BES20 1426
Transliteration
l grmn bn ʾzhm bn ʾbyṯʿ [b]n mgd bn ʿdd w rʿy h- rḥbt bql
Josef Bloomfield
Translation
By Grmn son of ʾzhm son of ʾbyṯʿ son of Mgd son of ʿdd and he pastured on fresh herbage in this shallow depression
Josef Bloomfield

Interpretation

Commentary
A triangular section of the stone has broken away from the surface in the bottom right corner. This means that the b of bn following ʾbyṯʿ is missing. It seems very unlikely that any letters other than a b are missing. Josef Bloomfield
