1ʾs³lḥ and Ḫmrnm, the two officers of the [king/qayl] 2ʿzzʾl, dedicated and entrusted their 3son ʿbdhyn to the Lord of Ḥds¹, 4together with this bronze statue because, (whereas) they had been disappointed, 5specially as to (the hope) that He might deliver him (the son) from sickness in his infancy, 6yet now the Lord of Ḥds¹ has in fact so delivered him. And may He 7in future be indulgent towards His servant ʿbdḫrn 8and may He favour him, namely Ḫmrnm, with future children 9and long life for themselves and the goodwill of their overlords; 10and may He in future grant them whatsoever 11they beg of Him; and may He deliver 12them from humiliation and malice of any enemy.
