Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
ZeGA 3: l ġyrʾl bn mṭr ḏ- ʾl ḥfy
Commentary
The initial l is rather far from the following letter. The second letter is rather doubtful in the photograph. The end of the inscription is not in the photograph and it seems possibly that the penultimate letter might be a ẓ and the lineal name read as ḥẓy.
