Commentary
As well as this text, LP 131 [= C 3835], Dussaud M 236 (= C 3706) and Dussaud M 357 (= C 3835) are all from al-Ḥifnah and all read simply ʾbgr bn ys¹lm. Although it is difficult to be sure, given that all are known only from hand copies, they would appear to be four, or at least three, different texts, possibly by the same man. C 3835 identifies Dussaud M 357 with LP 131, and this is possible but uncertain.
