TEXT
1 [... ... ]tḥgr-s¹ ḏt Ḥm[ym ... ...]
2 [... ... ]ys²ft ḏt Ḥmy[m ... ...]
| The fragment shows a quite unsual formulary compared to that of the inscriptions dedicated to ḏt Ḥmym. It seems that there are here two verbs at the prefix form: the former having the goddess as subject, the latter having the author of the text as subject. |
