Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 371) commented: "The w of the first name has been filled in. The b and n have been formed into a circle. The last letter is an infilled circle with a short line with a smaller circle on the end. It might all be a y or, perhaps, a y followed by another unidentifiable letter. The same names with infilling of the w, joining of the b and n and infilling of the ninth letter occurs in KJA 212. wḥg is not in Harding 1971".
