Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ s¹drn for s¹krn
Commentary
The reading on the photograph is absolutely clear and so rendering unnecessary the emendations proposed by Milik (1960: 179) and Jamme (1968: 67; 1970: 116). The k of s¹krn has been turned into a d by the addition of a small stroke which is more shallowly cut than the rest of the letter.
