Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: l ḫlf w wgm ʿl bngt w ʿl wʾl w ʿl s¹lm w ʿl ʿqrb w ʿl ġṭfn w ʿl ms¹ w rġm mny l ʾbny wʾl; w rġm mny l ʾbny wʾl "wa-karaha al-mawt li-abnæʾ wʾl". H unp.: l ḫlf is doubtful and not the beginning of the text which could be a continuation of 61.1. ġṭf{n} for ġṭfn; wh at the end.
Commentary
The only letter which is visible at the beginning is a f. The n of the first name after wgm is doubtful as it is inscribed in a different technique to other letters of the text. It is difficult to read any letters after the ʾ of the third name after wgm although it is possible that a w should be restored before ʿl. The reading of {ġ}{ṭ}f{n} is extremely doubtful. The text ends in wh.
