Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: dʿlt ʿmʿtlrb rather than {w} dʿ[t] lt ʿ{m}rt. DISCUSSION King (1990: 652) commented: "The w has been completely hammered over and the m is a somewhat unusual shape. See Ch.4.C.2 for this type of prayer, the feminine ending -t of the verb has been left out or perhaps, unusually, it is an imperative. TIJ reads lrb after the final t. The l is clear on my photograph, the next letter is probably an ʿ and the following curve appears to be later than the rest".
