Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: l ḫlṣ bn s²ms¹lh ʿm w dṯʾ; ʿm is interpreted as a personal name. H unp.: ms¹lm for s²ms¹lh ʿm.
Commentary
The edge of the rock at the beginning is cut off in the photograph but the restoration of l is probably justified. The signs read by NSR as s² h and ʿ are in a different technique and do not belong to the text. There is a further extraneous circle next to the w which is not in NSR's copy.
