TEXT Jamme: ḥṭm for ḫḏm (p. 42) and ḥdr for ḥ{d}d (p. 140, n. 125). DISCUSSION King (1990: 677) commented: "The d's of the second name are facing in opposite directions and, although the loop of the second is slightly faint in the photograph, I think it is certain. The penultimate letter has four prongs but no tail visible on the photograph".
