Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 428) commented: "The letters are crudely inscribed. The b has a deep curve, the h has a small fork and the arms of the k are somewhat curved. There is a m above the s¹ which might be a letter that has been left out of the text and, perhaps, the first name should be read ‘lm, although the letter is rather far away to be certain of this".
