Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: SIJ 187: l wny bn ḥd w wgd s¹fr wn. SIJ 188: l nẓm s¹ḏ. SIJ 189: ----yw ʾbḏfr JSafN p. 75 note 103: read as one text; wly for wny; wgd for w[g]d; wls¹y for w{h}----s¹y; ʾbḏ for ʾb (-h).
Commentary: Jamme is surely correct in reading SIJ 187 188 and 189 as one text. However given the large space on the copy between w{h}... and ...s¹y he is surely incorrect in reading these four letters as one name. The g of w[g]m is not on the copy.
