Commentary
The same names are engraved three times in different techniques on the same face. WH treat them all as 2272. In the SD they are separated as WH 2272.1 2272.2 2272.3. Note in all three texts the difference between the lām auctoris which has a hook and the final letter which does not and which must therefore be a n even though in 2272.1 and 2272.2 it is somewhat longer than the n of the bn.
