 This reading is promoted by the hieroglyph for "s" on the stela.In sum the reading on the stela had to be "Seret", which means "mother sheep" or "she of the ram".It seems that the later ramesside scribes, who compiled the Annal stone (and therefore the Cairo stone inscription), had no knowledge of the older readings for the ram sign and simply read "Ba", changing "Seret" into "Batyires".
