1 Lḥmm son of Yftḥʾl, 2 father of Hbrrʾl, Hqm- 3 ʾl and ʾbkrb, of the clan 4 ʾbmʿṯtr, dedicated to 5 Mtbnṭyn ʾbs²wr, 6 when he offered as firstfruits to Mtbnṭyn 7 a container (?) of 50 "rb" 8 and bought Ḏbḥn - a number 9 of measures - and in the town of ʾṣ- 10 yr four (measures), by the command of Wd 11 and of the gods of Haram, 12 at the time of Yḏmrmlk 13 and Wtrʾl. |
| 7 | For mqdḥ, the SD hypothetically translates "cup, vessel for offerings". |
| 8 | For tfd, see the remark to Haram 2, l. 19. |
| 9 | Robin suggests that mmd could be a unit of measurement of surface, like "parcels" (from MDD, "to measure, to extend"). |
