Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Milik: l ḥg bt bs¹lm rather than l ġḍbt b{n} s¹lm; Winnett: l(h)gbt bs¹lm rather than l ġḍbt b{n} s¹lm. DISCUSSION King (1990: 674) commented: "The ġ at the beginning has an unusual stance and form but I think the reading is certain. The n in Milik's copy runs into the back of the s¹".
