KJB 132

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 283) commented: "The b of the second bn is a shallow curve facing in the opposite direction to that of the rest of the text and the n has been written before it. It is strange that a mistake should have been made with a word as common as bn but if he did write the n first that would explain the direction of the curve of the b which faces in the right way for that word although it is wrong for the rest of the text. qrs² is not in Harding 1971. krt bn ftḥt occurs in KJA 11 and KJC 307".
