Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 382) commented: "The opening letters of the emotive formula are clear. There appear to be at least two characters after the b (perhaps s¹?, y?), although they are too worn to make out with any certainty. Below these worn characters are two large curved shapes running parallel to each other that could be read as m, although they are more likely the horns of an animal drawing".
