Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Kind (1990: 238) commented: "The first two letters are written with thinner lines than the rest of the text. Two of the letters of the inscription are written back to front, the b of the first name and the l of the second. The b of the second bn is incomplete and no letters are visible after the s¹".
