Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 346: (y)ṯ[ʿ] for {r}{ġ}ṯ.
Commentary
the shapes of the letters in Harding's copy have not been accurately represent in SIJ. The first letter of the third name is like the r of ʾṯr except that it has only one “hook”. The next sign is a diagonal line which does not touch the previous letter. There is no ʿ. Similarly the penultimate letter is much closer to the r of ʾṯr in hArding's copy than in SIJ's facsimile.
