JSTham 417

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Line 1. Jaussen & Savignac followed by van den Branden and Eskoubi: mkṣ mḥd rather than mkt {w} {ḥd}. Line 2. Jaussen & Savignac: ḥlk blḥ for ḥl{k}----; van den Branden: l kbl rather than ḥl{k}----; Eskoubi: ḥll nb ddn.
Commentary: Line 1. A reading of the letter w for ḍ should not be excluded. Within a cartouche. The third letter is probably t, since the lines which would make it into a ṣ are much fainter than the rest of the letter. There is no justification for Eskoubi's reading of the second line as ḥll b ddn.
