TIJ 098

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Harding & Littmann: w tʿlb tm bn rbts¹ rather than w ẓʿl bt mb[]rr. DISCUSSION King (1990: 657) commented: "The ẓ has a horizontal stance in a vertical text and runs into the following ʿ. There is a dot after the second b, as in the facsimile in Harding, G.L. & Littmann (1952: 18), but it is deeper than the lines of the other letters and probably does not belong. Harding, G.L. & Littmann's (1952: 18) copy of the r's is not altogether accurate but they do seem to be similar in shape to the first b, see Ch.2.B. See Ch.4.A.3.b for the initial w. Below them is a drawing of the stick man with his arms outstretched".
