TRANSLATIONS

English

   1  According to the ordinance of ʾlmqh (this is established), so that from
   2  the boundary stela which bears this inscription to
   3  the boundary stela of Ḥbls¹mʿ no ʿlb-tree
   4  be planted by the secondary canal,
   5  and what the lords
   6  of ḏ-Brdm indeed plant by the secondary canal
   7  [and] (what) they plant (by?) the vine stocks, [... ...]
   8  [... ...]
It cannot be excluded that mhn be here a conditional particle ("in the event that") rather that a relative pronoun ("what").
