Abstract

Heshbon A4 (= Heshbon II)is written in the Aramaic script and language and dates to the late sixth century B.C.E. The personal name in line 3 has been read as Tmk'l. To be sure, this personal name is well attested in the Ammonite onomastica. However, based on new collations of this ostracon, it can he stated with confidence that the morphology and stance of the graphemes require that this personal name should he read as Gmr'l.
