Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Jaussen & Savignac followed by Eskoubi: ʿmrn rather than ʿgr{n}.
Commentary: On Eskoubi's photograph there seems to be a loop attached to the left vertical of the ʾ. Note that the final letter on the photograph seems to be a straight line, but this may be due to tyhe angle of the camera, since Jaussen & Savignac's copy (1909–1920, ii, pl. CXLVIII) shows it to have the normal Taymanitic shape for a n.
