Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 380) commented: "The inscription is carelessly hammered and the third letter is damaged by a chip. The second m is a rectangular shape. Love texts using nk occur elsewhere, see Ch.4.E.2. This is the only attested example in which this type of text is expressed as an expanded l N phrase, cf. KJB 63, KJC 347 and see Ch.4.G.(2)".
