Translations:

1let him offer a sacrifice 
2[in] his sanctuary. And there must offer unto him 
3[any seeker of an oracular response], before the gate 
4[of Ḥẓrm], an oblation on the seventh 
5of ḏ-Frʿ ḏ-ʿṯtr, and (set it apart?) [...] (Following Beeston).

Translation Notes:

The root ḏqṭ is rendered by Lundin (1972 a: 65) with "establish the right of ownership". Cf. also Sima 2000: 144-145 and fn. 503 on the formulary with ḏqṭ.
