Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 120: ʿnzy for {g}zy JSafN 77 note 110: ġzy; reads SIJ 120.1 as a third name in this text
Commentary
The initial letter of the second name is difficult to make out on the photograph but is clear not ʿn, as read by Winnett, and could possibly be a g with one straight side. The letters beside this text and included in the same cartouche, though read by Jamme as a third name (gfr) in this text, are not connected to it by a bn and are clearly a separate inscription = SIJ 120.1
