Interpretation
- Commentary
- The first two names are chiselled and the last two lightly incised. The identification of this text with LP 936 and 937 cannot be completely certain given the crudeness of the copies made by Littmann's companions. But the fact that LP 936 and 937 contain the genealogies in the two halves of M 42 suggests that it is very probable. On the other hand the copies of LP 936 and 937 do not read boustrophedon at least in the form in which they are published.
