Commentary
The third b and n are written as a monogram. The editor reads Ms 68 and 69 as separate texts but suggests that maybe they should be read together. He points out that the above reading does not account for the line attached to the circle of the bn-monogram. On the other hand if it is a separate text it is difficult to explain why the initial l is so short.
