- Commentary
- Although at first sight the penultimate letter looks like a z, it is clear from the photograph that the short stroke is in the same technique as WH 2583 and is in fact the final n of that text. WH working from only a hand-copy read it has both the final n of WH 2583 and the top of a "z" in 2581.
