Textual Notes
ב (Aramaic)
למלכ ט (Phoenician)
Is this the only example of the abbreviation / sigla B in the Aramaic on a jar label? ---- this was my original reading, but now I believe this is linear ב in Phoenician alongside a cursive Phoenician hand. This is no longer to be rendered a bilingual text.
