TEXT Winnett & Reed: wdd f wʿd w ts²wq l zd rather than wʿd ts²wq l {r}zd. DISCUSSION King (1990: 680) commented: "Mixed/Tham.E z. The letter between the l and z might be a r of a 'line with a hook' type, see WTI 41, 55, 78, 79 and Ch.2.I. (1), although the name rzd is difficult to explain. The letters wdd f possibly belong to another text".
