| 2-3 | Rijziger 2018: 149-150 integrates: bʿl<t> bt ʾ-mty. ʾmty as an epithet of tye two mentioned women is probable, but it is difficult to understand what is: bʿl/bʿlt bt. P.Stein in a personal communication to S.Rijziger suggests that bʿl b was a scribal mistake. |
| 8 | At the beginning: bt-hmw is a possible integration (Rijziger). |
