SIJ 984

Text Information

Siglum
SIJ 984
Transliteration
l ḫbṭt bn bnʾmt bn ḥfẓ f h rḍw s¹ʿd -h
Translation
By Ḫbṭt son of Bnʾmt son of Ḥfẓ and O Rḍw help him

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 984: bn <<>><<>>ʾmt for bn bnʾmt.
Commentary
SIJ regards the bn of bnʾmt as “an accidental repetition by either the writer or the copyist” and compares SIJ 932. However since both 932 nor 984 are known only from copies the opposite might also be true and the two texts may be by different individuals.
