Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP 375: mġny for mfny.
Commentary
The middle letters of the final name are damaged by abrasions and there is an inverted "V" (which might be the end of the s²) scratched below the ʿ, giving the impression that the letter is ḫ. To add to the confusion, the author of LP 376 (= Is.H 524) carved a ʿ before the s² in the same name and then ineffectually tried to erase it. This inscription is by the father of LP 376 (= Is.H 524).
