ḥsn / nḥs (?)

Native-script transcription is not available here; the reading follows the cited edition.

02 · Translation

Possibly a personal name; the orientation and reading are uncertain.

Project English gloss after Abraham J. Drewes, RIÉ III.B (2019), printed p. 375; uncertainty follows Drewes's record-level discussion.

Turning the object changes the reading. Drewes regards both ḥsn and nḥs as arbitrary.
