1ʾnmrm ʾẓlm, son of H- 2wfʿṯt, of the family Nḥs¹n, dedicated 3to ʾlmqh ḏ-Hrn the tablet 4because He conceded him 5to slaughter an excellent slaughter from 6the tribe Nbs²m; and He 7may continue to grant ʾ- 8nmrm abundance of faculty and 9might; and for what has been favourable and 10may be favourable to the family ḏ-Nḥs¹n.

5Nebes 2005: 343, n. 77 argues that mhrg had a speecific and concrete meaning, indicating fallen enemies whose hands were cut off as war trophies.
