Textual Notes
Line 3: Röllig admits that the name is difficult. He prefers the gentilic כנני because the name ends in בל, i.e. Baˁal. The first letter and last letter of the gentilic are clear. Second letter is almost certainly not a נ because it has an articulated head made of at least two strokes and one penlift. ס is the most likely option. The third letter of the gentilic looks like a standard פ, to me. The first three letters of the name are difficult. The first letter could be ה, ג, or פ. Röllig appears to have mistaking the vertical stroke of the second letter as a ל; it is an א. The third letter appears to be a י or ז. It is unlikely that it should be read with the following stroke and construed as a צ because of the spacing. Röllig’s ינ seems plausible and is followed here. Line 4: I cannot confirm Röllig’s reading.
