Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- CSA: [ḥ][b]b for {ḥ}{b}b; ms¹kn for ms¹k; h ----r for h- ʿr; "The final word of the text which has been damaged may read h- ʿr "the ass" although this could hardly refer to the animal in the accompanying picture which appears to be a horse". JMAA XV p. 97-114: comments and various discussions; p. 114: l ms¹kn bn ms¹kn bn ws¹m bn ʾbd ḫwr; translation of ḫwr "He became weak".
- Commentary
- MCAM: The photograph looks as if the first proper name is ḥbb and the second ms¹k, the second line after the k must be accidental and is anyway in the wrong axis. h- ʿr is clear under vandalism on the stone and photograph. NB. the animal is probably a mule with a bound tail.
