Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 198) commented: "The text is written down from the end of KJA 83. The second bn and the m of the third name are much shallower than the other letters of the text. I have restored tr at the end on the basis of other texts with this genealogy, see Index a and Ch.5.C.2, genealogy 2. mtr is not in Harding 1971".
