NSR 64.2

Text Information

Siglum
NSR 64.2
Transliteration
l ʿqrb w rʿy w mṭr w dṯʾ
Translation
By ʿqrb and he pastured and it rained and he spent the season of the later rains

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: l ʿqrb w rʿy. H unp.: could be read with NSR 64.1.
Commentary
Read with NSR 64.1. The second w is not read by NSR although it occurs in the copy. The line read as l before mṭr is almost certainly extraneous as the hammer marks are inconsistent and not as deep as the others in text. There are two curves facing the opposite directions after the ʾ at the end. They are possibly an unfinished letter or a wasm.
