Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: NSR: l ʿwḏ bn rhny ḏʾl ḫr f wgʿ f s¹fr ʿl qbr mṣry f ndm; translated from f wgʿ as: fa-wagaʿa (taʾallama) fa-safara (fa-kataba) ʿalæ qabr mṣry fa-nadima. H unp.: l ʿwḏ b[n] rhny ḏ ʾl {ḫ}{r} {f} wg{ʿ} f s¹fr ʿl qbr m{ṣ}{r}y f {n}[]dm
Commentary: The first letter has a line joining the vertical stroke to form a h. It is not a deep as the rest of the letter but is probably intentional. There is a chip in the rock after the h and it is possible that NSR and H are justified in reading a n. The first s² is inscribed near the top of the stroke of the following h. The ʿ of {ʿ}n is larger than the other ʿ of the text. It is possible it should be read as m although it is not as elongated as the other m's. There is a chip between the n and d of ndm.
