- l s¹lm bn ẓʿn

Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: bs¹lm for s¹lm
- Commentary
- Underneath the s¹ is a curved line that resembles half of an s¹. It is much to wide to justify WH's interpretation of it as a b, and its position casts further doubt on their reading. The most likely explanation is that the author felt that he began his s¹ too low, and then started over again a bit higher. There is a stray b above the inscription followed by four dots.
