Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP 431: s¹ry for s¹{b}y and tbr for t{r}{b}.
Commentary
Area A. As the b and the r in this text are hardly distinguishable the reading of the first and last names is uncertain. What looks like a third prong on the h of zhyn is in fact part of the loop of the ṣ in L 79. The text is partly enclosed in a cartouche. It was written over part of L 79.
