Interpretation
- Commentary
- By a brother of the authors of M 72 and M 85.2. There is absolutely no trace of any letter between the m of bʿls¹m and the s¹ of s¹lm and the writer seems to have made the y of the second name which is immediately above do double service as the final letters of bʿls¹my and of ḫfy. Cf. the way the author of M 72 used the name Bny twice. M 85.1 and 85.2 are enclosed in a lightly incised cartouche and have suffered a number of abrasions.
