TEXT


      [... ...]
   1  [... ...] f[.]m[.]
   2  w-l s¹ʿd-hmw [...] w-ʾfql ṣd(q)[m]
   3  ʿdy ʾrḍ-hmw b-Tʾlb R(y)m(m)

Apparatus
1At the end of the line, Glaser read fʿm. Tschinkowitz finds it possible.
2In the lacuna before w-ʾfql, one expects ʾṯmr, but the place between the two separators seems too narrow. It may suit to the singular ṯmr.
