- Commentary
- The second letter of the first name is damaged by abrasions but is possible to see traces of a vertical stroke and a cross-bar at the top suggesting the letter should be read as z. It is difficult to be certain as to whether the circle of the second letter of the second name has a line across it or a dot in the middle. If the latter is the case then the letter should be read as either a ʿ or ḍ [REF]. The first letter of the fifth name does not have a central line between the two forks and it is possible that H is correct in reading the letter as ḫ. It is possible the second letter of the same name should be read as a f as the spine which would form a m is covered by a subsequent hammer mark and might be extraneous to the reading of the letter.
