     […] they paid and built and dedicated to ʿAṯtar of QBḌ the moat [called] tnʿm, the wall flush-fitted [to a scarp] from wood and of hewed stones, from the fundament up to the top, and the counterscarp from stones: the whole moat between the two towers ẓrbn and lbʾn, from levies and offerings offered to ʿAṯtar of QBḌ, which they performed. And thus ʿAṯtar of QBḌ convened and confirmed the levies and offerings for the construction of the moat.
