- Commentary
- The text has been heavily vandalized with additions to virtually every letter, to the extent that the first name is almost impossible to read with confidence and the reading here is offered extremely tentatively. The third letter cannot be a r (as in WH's reading) if the penultimate one is also a r, which it clearly is. WH also ignore the letter at the end of the first name, which we have read as s¹ with a dot between the arms added by the vandal.
