TEXT
1 (K)bʾs²s²dd(ḍ)
| 1 | The execution technique of the letter "ḍ" is different from that of the other letters; it may not belong to this text (Macdonald 2018: 238). The reading is very uncertain. According to Macdonald the text runs from left to right. We cannot exclude that the sign interpreted as "s²" by Macdonald is a "r". |
