Commentary
Although WH (p. 509 and pl. 64) say that this is the same text as WH 3637, this is not so. The copy shows a text (= WH 3637) which is quite different from that of WH 3686, in which the first name is clearly gnn not ẓnn, and which has no cartouche or 7 dots and a line beside it, as does WH 3637.
