Interpretation
- Commentary
- The first letter of the author's name is cannot be read due to damage. The author wrote a ʾ between the vocative h and the s² of the deity name S²ʿhqm. The reason for including this letter here is unclear and may possibly be a mistake. It also seems possible that hʾ- could be a variant of the more common h-, along with hy-. This would perhaps be vocalised as hāʾ. Josef Bloomfield
