According to B-M 23, there is an illegible line above l.1. | |
2 | ... ḏ-Yhr]q w-ʿṯtr Yhr ....... (hl)n (nb) b-ʿṯtr w-kl ʾlʾlt Mʿnm w-Y[ṯl (RES and Garbini's reading). ]q w-ʿṯtr Yhrq w-tḥgn nbṭ ʿṯtr w-kl ʾlʾlt Mʿnm w-Y[ (B-M 23). A restoration of Nbṭʿṯtr, whose cult is known in Baraqish, at the middle of the line is plausible, as it combines both previous readings. The restoration of the preceding word might then be Khln (Rossi 2012; cf. M 227). |
