By {Trṣ} son of {Ġyr} son of {ʾys¹} son of S²mt and he spent the winter

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: l ḫlṣ bn ġyr bn ʾys¹ bn s²mtn w s²ty. H unp.: trṣ for ḫrṣ; {ġ}y{r} for ġyr and s²mt{n} for s²mtn.
Commentary
The lines of the {ṣ} {ġ} and {r} have been thickened and the {y} of ʾ{y}s¹ and m of s²mt have been hammered over. It is possible that the {ṣ} should be read as a y as the fork is not very deep. There is a dot after the t of s²mt but it is a slightly different texture and shape to the other n's in the text and is probably extraneous.
