TEXT

   1  (Ḏrʾ)krb bn Ys²rḥʾl bn Yl±[... ...]
   2  -s¹ww w-s¹nwm-s¹ w-kl ḏhb-s¹ w-ts²±[... ...]
   3  [Ydʿʾ]b Ḏbyn Yhnʿm

Apparatus
2this inscription may remind us the arrangement of the land near the city gate: w-ḏhb-s¹ w-ts²[rʿ-s¹, see CSAI I, 18 = MuB 673 4-5.
Nevertheless, ts²rʿ seems to mean "ornament" and in this case ḏhb could be translated "bronze".
