Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP 490: ḥgl for ḥgn
Commentary
Area H. The upper part of the y is direct hammered and of a lighter patina than the rest of the text suggesting that it may have been added to a n. The n of bn is a long straight line whereas the lām auctoris has a hook. The final letter must therefore be n. The same distinction is present in WH 497 where the reading ḥgl should be corrected to ḥgn. The text is enclosed in a lightly scratched cartouche. See also colour print Misc PH 19
