Interpretation
- Commentary
- The apparent n of bn has a line running through it horizontally. If one were to read this as a t, the author would be female. Upon close inspection of the letter, the horizontal line appears much thicker and probably deeper than the vertical line. Due to this, a reading of bn has been given. It is possible that the horizontal line is vandalism. The short vertical line after m has been treated as an extraneous mark.
