Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: yʾ{s¹}wr for {h}ʾ{ḥ}wr
Commentary
The third letter of the patronym is very similar to the first letter of the author's name and so has been read as ḥ. The last letter is curved, as opposed to the extremely straight l's in the text and would therefore seem more likely to be a r.
