TEXT
1 Ḏrḥʾl w-bn-s¹ Wh—
2 bʾl w-l ykn nyl
| 2 | Jamme translates: "et qu'arrive un profit!". Perhaps it is better to understand: "and there is a payment". In RES 3945, 1: nyl Hwbs¹ seems to indicate the union between the king and the goddess. In any case, nyl means a specific ritual, so we can translate: "and there is a ritual". |
