Interpretation
- Commentary
- The same genealogy with the addition of the name Mġyr (the father of ʿrfn) has been attested multiple times (AAWAB 24; HaNSB 220; KRS 70). Two other inscriptions include the genealogy minus mġyr (KRS 1113; RSIS 254). It may be the case that the ʿrfn of BES20 2221 is actually the uncle of ʿrfn son of Mġyr, and therefore is the brother of Mġyr.
