Translations:

3performed the ẓll-ceremony at Khl
4for the sake of their grain in Ḏ-
5ṯʿʿl and so may he [the god] favour both of them and may he help
6both of them.

Translation Notes:

4We follow Farès-Drappeau (p. 206, D 121) in taking ṯbrt as possibly cognate with Hebrew šeber "grain". Though this is by no means certain it fits the context well. See also the discussion in Sima (p. 104).
