Interpretation

Commentary
m{y}: The apparent y is quite difficult to read in the photograph. The letter is clearly different to the l of the lām auctoris as there is a hook at one end, whilst the l is straight. In the photograph of BES20 28, the letter is visible and one can see the circle of a y.
