Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 835: nothing after ms¹kt.
Commentary
After ms¹kt the text curves round into the space between the two lines in smaller letters. This section was not copied by Thompson. There are at least three other texts on the same face but the photograph is too out-of-focus to permit secure readings.
