- TRANSLATION ʿkr s¹ʾ, Corbett: "habits of evil". DISCUSSION Corbett (2010: 341–342) commented: "This curse text is presented in two columns. To the right of the text is a drawing of a man having sex with an animal (a1-a2) and, based on the curse, the text and the drawing should be related. The first column presents the standard curse formula, while the second specifies the object of the curse with two nominal forms in construct (ʿkr and s¹ʾ = “habits of evil”), preceded by kll. I have taken the substantive ʿkr to be a plural form, as the singular and the plural are indistinguishable in the construct state and a plural makes sense in this context. A drawing of an ostrich (a3) is also found to the right of the text".
