Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: bn for bt
- Commentary
- Curiously on WH's photograph the word between the names looks very much like bn with a little damage to the left of the vertical. However, on the BES18 photographs it looks more like bt with a clear projection to the right of the vertical (with the same patina) which does not seem to be there on WH's photograph.
- Provenance
