Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: gʿrs¹kr rather than gʿ {b}n ṭr
Commentary
The fourth letter, which Abvū ʾl-Ḥasan reads as a s¹, is clearlky a n. The supposed left-hand vertical is a line much thinner than those of the rest of the letter. The next sign is almost identical to the ṭ in nṭr. Thus gʿ {b}n ṭʿ. The end of line two has been cut by the edge of the photograph.
