- On the photograph and facsimile (pl. 14) but not read by WH who however refer to the text they call 604 as 604a on p. 31. Beeston (BRWH p. 134) suggests calling the unread text 604 and the read one 604a. However this would add confusion so it seems simpler to call the one WH read 604a (as on p. 31) and the unread one as 604b. Beeston reads the first name in 604b as ḥbb which is impossible.
