Commentary
Winnett emends the second name to ʾnʿm and attributes the spelling in the copy to “copyist's error”. Note that Harding's original copy of SIJ 3 also records ʿnʾm (the copy in SIJ has been altered) but here it is clear from the photograph that the original read ʾnʿm. Although SIJ does not mention a drawing the text strongly suggests that there must have been one.
