WH 3930

Siglum
WH 3930
Transliteration
{l} {ġ}{t}m bn wrm
Translation
{By} {Ġtm} son of Wrm

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: l rtm for {l} {ġ}{t}m
Commentary
WH do not read the l before the first letter of the first name, and interpreted the ġ as l r. This is certainly a possible alternative reading.

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.
