Apparatus Criticus
KhBG 376: "ẓlyt" for "flyt" and "flṭ" for "fl{ṭ}".
Commentary
The copy of the fifteenth letter is not very clear but it seems unlikely that it should be read as a ẓ. The letter read as a ṭ is is rather obscured by ink marks in the copy. There is a cartouche surrounding the inscription.
