Commentary
The copy published in SIJ is very incomplete. The first four letters are clear on the photograph as is yẓr. The text then continues along the edge of the face but unfortunately the letters are too faint on the photograph to be readable until the last seven. Five of the latter are shown on the facsimile in SIJ and MRSIJ noted that they had been omitted from Winnett's readings while JSM p. 509 n. 3 took them as part of SIJ 706.
