Images from OI Epigraphic Survey 1954 as appearing in Wilson 2005 (see bibliography).
Mazar 1957
Mazar does not list these names, but states that the relief begins with the conventional listing of the "nine peoples of the bow and with the word for list (or copy) (59). Aharoni does not list these names, but notes that Nos. 1-10 are the usual Northern Countries (285).

Statistical Table Name-rings considered for these counts and percentages: 150 minus 5 (since # 134-138 are destroyed) + 5 on Row 10 ext., minus the 9 bows and 1 for the "copy of the Asiatics" = 140 name rings (55 in the upper and 85 in the lower register) Of these, only 119 have at least two readable phonetic signs (43 in the upper and 76 in the lower). 119 minus 10 duplicates (all in the lower register) = 109 (Words that are seemingly generic terms in construct with a following place name [hagr, shibbolet, negev] have only been counted once, including one proposed dittography at 116-117.) It is based on these 109 (at least semi-) readable and (presumably) unique name-rings which the percentages have been based (43 in the upper and 66 in the lower register).
