Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH did not read the second name
Commentary
This is WH 2478 b in the ed. pr. The reading of the second name is very tentative. There is a mark between the arms of the b which could be a ʿ and the next letter seems to be a simple vertical stroke. It is difficult to tell on the photographs whether there are any further letters or simply marks.
