Commentary
Note that SIJ 704.1 (the text mentioned in the commentary to SIJ 704 as being too faint to read) is enclosed in the same cartouche with 702 (by this author's brother) and 704 (the text by his father which he mentions finding). However since the last two letters of 704.1 crosse the edge of the cartouch it seems probable that it was originally drawn to enclose 704 and 702 and that 704.1 was squeezed in when the author found the texts.
