Translations:
1ʾmtlh daughter [of] Ḍmr 2performed the ẓll-ceremony 3for the sake of the [farming] partner of her family (?) in T- 4[q]mm and so favour her and 5reward her.
Translation Notes:
3We would suggest that the sequence grʿwlh could represent gr ʿwl-h ‘the [farming] partner of her family’. This is based on taking gr as having a similar implication to Arabic ǧār one of the meanings of which is ‘a partner, or sharer in immovable property, such as land’ (Lane, p. 483c), and on interpreting ʿwl as related to Arabic ʿīyāl ‘family, household’ which is derived from the root ʿ-W-L. The fact that there is no word-divider between the 2 elements of the construct might be because it was taken a single concept.
