By {Ṭyb} son of Qḏy son of {Ẓnʾl} son of {Wḫr} and he found the writing of S¹r and the writing of {ḫdgt} and so he cried
Josef Bloomfield
Interpretation
- Commentary
- There is a large letter that looks like a ẖ directly next to the r of the second s¹fr. The next four letters read as ẖdʿgt, an unlikely name. The reading here assumes that the author accidentally wrote ʿ instead of g and did not erase the letter. Josef Bloomfield
