Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP 1024: s¹ʿm for s¹ʿd
Commentary
There is an extraneous stroke before the lām auctoris. The identification is reasonably certain because of the shape of the b of ʿbdhm in both LP copies and on the original despite the miscopying of the last letter in LP 1024. Littmann did not identify the two copies the first of which (LP 388) he made and the second (LP 1024) was made one of the "servants of the Princeton University Archaeological Expedition" (Littmann 1943: iii).
