Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: ʾnhk for ʾnh{b}; --- ṯlṯt for ----ṯt
Commentary
There is a break in the rock and only part of the b of the second bn is legible and the n has completely disappeared. The b of ʾnh{b} is partly covered by abrasions (and see NSR 76) and there is a gap caused by the break between the d of wld and the m of mʿzy it seems likely that h- should be restored.
