Interpretation

Commentary
Given its position and the similarity of the two hands (especially the unusual form of the ḍ) this text is probably by a brother of the author of M 102. The first letter is badly damaged by abrasions. The n of bn was joined at both ends to the b by slightly thinner lines.
