Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- HCH: l mġṯ bn ẓnʾl w ts¹wq ʾl- ḏ---- SIAM II p. 193: gnʾl for ẓnʾl and {g}fʾt which is not shown in HCH's copy after {ʾ}l. The g is not entirely certain and it is possible that the name should be read as rfʾt. The ḏ which is read by HCH at the end belongs to HCH 23. The ʾ of {ʾ}l is obscured by an abrasion but the restoration is certain in this context.
- Commentary
- There is a rayed circle in the middle of the stone. The stone partly covered a grave cut in the soil on the southern face of the cairn in which the body of a woman was found. See HCH p. 11.
