NSR 75

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: NSR: l ʿmr bn ʾds² ʿbd gfft bn ʾs¹ h gwy "li-ʿmr bin ʾd© ʿabd (ḫædim) gfft bin ʾs [haḏæ] al-jiwæ (al-mawḍiʿ alaḏ¡ yajtamiʿu f¡hi al-mæʾ). H unp.: {l} {ʿ}mr for l ʿmr and ʿ{b}d g{f}ft for ʿbd gfft.
Commentary: Several letters of the text have been infilled and hammered over either by the author of the text or subsequently and the text is partly covered by abrasions. It is unlikely that the second letter is an ʿ as read by NSR but it could be a z as part of a cross-bar at the top of a horizontal stroke is visible. The second letter of the second name could be a r or a b it is slightly more square than the b's of the text. It is possible that bn has been left out between this name and ʿbd. Part of the b of ʿbd is destroyed by a chip and the d is written on its side. The following b is written right up against the g and no n is visible. If the third letter of gf{f}t is to be read as f then it is facing in the other direction to the other f. The b of the following bn has been hammered over and its original shape is not visible. The line across the circle of the w of the last word is indistinct. Three dots are visible and there are possibly more which are not certain in the photograph.
