Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 229) commented: "To the right and above KJA 236. The bn and the patronymic are written to the right of the first name. The initial l is rather thick and has probably been subsequently hammered over. The k is doubtful as in some lights there appears to be a third arm attached to the spine of the letter".
