Interpretation
- Commentary
- The third prong is missing on the ḏ of gdʿwḏ. It is interesting that a memner of the lineage group of Ḍf should pray to the tutelary deity of the other great lineage group, ʿwḏ. The end of the text is not clear on the photograph and we cannot suggest an interpretation.
