Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
JaS: l ʾns¹ bn ywbġ bn kd
Commentary
The copy is extremely doubtful. The letter after the first bn might be a y but it has a curve which would be unusual. The letter read as ġ by JaS is lying on its side and is more likely to a n and the tail of a s¹ which have been joined together. The letter read as k is similarly to Thamudic E ġ as it has a tail. The spine of the d curves backwards at the ends and the loop of the letter is not completely joined. Next to the text there is a copy of shapes which might be joined letters and it is possible that the strange shape of some of the lettrs in the text is because some of the letters are joined and the copyist did not recognise this.
