Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP 284: rgwn for bʿwn
Commentary
Although the name bʿwn is previously unattested, Littmann's reading rgwn seems less likely. The b is identical to the examples in the two bn's and the second letter of the name would be very small for a g. Written round a drawing of a she-camel on an adjacent face to that bearing LP 283
