Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 300–301) commented: "Written to the right of KJC 23. The text is crudely inscribed and there seems to have been a rough attempt at joining the letters of the first name and the n of bn to each other by running a line through the middle of them. The fourth letter which I have read as y has the circle completely filled in. The first letter of the patronym is written slightly to the left of the rest of the text and the ṯ has only one line to the grid".
