1 Ḫlḥmd of the family Gldn, daughter of the family Ḥnzm, built and founded 2 and completed the house Tbʿm, and she helped her two husbands 3 S²rḥm and S²ʿbm and her sons of the family Gldn with a thousand 4 coins, until she redeemed a debt from the descendants and for the man of Ṣirwāḥ (?). |
4 | Abdallāh translates ʿḏrn as "fine". Frantsouzoff 2016: 99 "de sorte qu'elle se soit acquittée de (son) obligation et pour (payer) le Ṣirwāḥite", other translation less probable: "pour payer une sorte de marchandise qui s'appelait 'le ṣirwāḥite'" |
