Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Abū l-Ḥasan: s²gʿh bhr rather than rgʿ rbh{g/m}.
Commentary
There appears to be a roughly drawn cartouche around at least the upper part of the text, of which what appears to be a r at the beginning of the text is part. The diagonal line across the third letter, which led Abū ʾl-Hasan to read it as h, is much thinner than the lines which form the letters and must surely be an extraneous mark.
