Commentary
The text is very lightly scratched between the first two names of SIJ 125 and the edge of the cartouche. It is invisible on the published plate (SIJ Pl. III) and is difficult to make out on the photograph. There seems to be nothing to justify Jamme's reading rṣw at the end, and his combination of the vocative with the optative perfect is grammatically impossible.
