Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jobling: f {l} rʿ{l}t rather than fbr. DISCUSSION King (1990: 610) commented: "The text reads down towards the end of AMJ 11. Possibly Jobling (1983: 205) is correct in suggesting that the first letter should be interpreted as ‘and’ in which case the text would read f br ‘And br’. This would be the first instance of a name being introduced by f, although the particle introduces a verb in KJC 140 and there are several instances where w occurs at the beginning of a text before a name, see Ch.4.A.3".
