Phoe. Class 2026 Last updated 07 April, 2026 by James D. Moore

For the Lady, for ˁAštarte. (2)This holy place
which was built, and which (3)TBRYˀ WLNŠ gives,
king over
KYŠRYˀ, in the month of the sacrifice
of the sun-god, as a gift, a temple. And he built
a cella, because ˁAštarte requested by me
for my reign, in the third year, in the month
of KRR, on the day of the grave
of the deity. And years for the statue of the deity
in her house, years like (11)these stars.
