Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 210–211) commented: "To the left of KJA 138, with the second bn and the third name written to the right of the rest. The bottom of the letters of the first name are covered by an abrasion and the ḥ of the second name is faint and shallower than the other letters. mṣry is not in Harding 1971 although there is a doubtful occurrence of the name in Saf. ISB 274a, see Index a for other occurrences at these sites".
