Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: JaS 43 (RiyædhM 42) last part: ḥgnt bn tf ḏ ʾl ʾḥt w dṯʾ w tġwwʾ l ʾḫw w l ts¹lm; translated from w dṯʾ as "And he has spent the spring [here] and gone over to ʾḫw and to Ts¹lm".
Commentary: See JaS 43.1 for the reason this is read as a separate text. It seems likely that the copyist has left out letters at the begining. JaS suggests that the inscriber drew the stroke of the d of dṯʾ and then noticed that he had forgotten to write a w and so inscribed it partly over the stroke. The second letter of ts²wq has a kink and then a short line which runs into the crossbar of the q of the same word which is written below it. The w has been copied as a q.
