Commentary

This text was erronously read backwards as l s¹{l}{t}w rather than understanding it as a continuation of BES20 2352. It is impossible to merge the two inscriptions together without disrupting the number of BES20, so it retains its own card here. The entire inscription reads: l s¹hb bn fṣʿ w t{n}{ẓ}r 'By S¹hb son of Fṣʿ and {he kept watch}.'
