Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: ʾl tmʾl b-- rather than {h} ltm {l} s²b----. DISCUSSION King (1990: 670) commented: "TIJ's copy has a ʾ for the first letter but, if there is a second fork, it is completely obscured by an abrasion. The fifth letter is read in the edition as an ʾ, although in the photograph one fork looks uncertain and only a line of the other is definite. It could be the hook of a l. For this type of prayer, see Ch.4.C.3".
