KJC 277

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: King (1990: 363) commented: "The letters of the text have been joined up and altered. The initial l has been joined to the ʾ. The forks of the ʾ have lines across giving the letter the appearance of a g. There is a ligature extending from the bottom fork of the ʾ to the ʿ and another on the other side of the ʿ joining it to the b. The arms of the b have been joined to form a rectangle and extended to attach the letter to the d. The final t has been left unattached. The name is not in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences at these sites".
