Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 619) commented: "The second letter is most likely a ḍ with the inner circle filled in rather than an ʿ with a dot in the middle, see Ch.2.A under ḍ and Ch.2.E.2. Jobling (1986: 264 ) reads d for ḍ which is presumably a misprint. The third letter might be a r rather than b".
