Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 284) commented: "Starting above and to the right of KJB 136. Some of the letters are badly formed and lines have been hammered joining them up. The first three letters are not very definitely inscribed and are uncertain although the third might be a k. ʿlfn is not in Harding 1971".
