Siglum
WH 3921
Transliteration
l s¹bʿ {b}n m{l}{k}{t} h- ḥyt
Translation
By S¹bʿ {son of} {Mlkt} are the animals

Interpretation

Commentary
The rock cracked after the inscription was carved damaging some of the letters of the second name. Note that the author of WH 3920 also claims the animals.

Provenance
WH worked from photographs taken by Mr Barry Park in 1955 who gave them to Gerald Lankester Harding. Unfortunately, these have since disappeared, and the photographs here were taken during a survey of Jabal Qurma and Tell Farah by Michael C.A. Macdonald, Geraldine King, Ann Searight and David Jacobson in 1982.
