Interpretation

Commentary
The text begins vertically to the left of SIJ Extra 24 cuts across the end of 24 and then doubles back and runs diagonally across the left side of the face. It seems to continue vertically after ngy. The second letter has been altered from ʾ to ṣ. The middle letters of this name have been rendered illegible. The ʾ of ḏ- ʾl in 24 has been written between the arms of the r of 25 suggesting that 25 must have been written first. The b of the third bn has ben written inside the arms of the final b of ʾḥbb. The ṣ of the following name has been changed into a ṯ.
