Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: NSR: l ḫrṣ bn ḥy bn bḥr for ----{ṣ} b[n] ḥyr bn ḥr; wnṣ for wny. H unp.: t{r}ṣ for ḫrṣ; qym{t} for qymt; {ḏ} ʾl for ḏ ʾl; wny for wnṣ.
Commentary: There is lichen and abrasions over the first part of the text and it is possible that ṣ should be read but nothing else is legible from the photograph. The ḥ of the second name is an unusual shape and different from the shape of the other ḥ in the text. A fork has been inscribed and then the third middle line has been attached to a line of the fork rather than to the centre. The n of the second bn is inscribed on the edge of another letter possibly a r in thicker chiselled lines which is followed by a ḥ. The different technique of inscribing and the postion of the n suggest that these letters are another text NSR 111.2 rather than a part of this one. It is difficult to tell whether they were inscribed before or afterwards see NSR 111.2.
