Commentary
Al-ʿĪsāwī Area H. This text was copied twice: LP 289 by Littmann himself and LP 1085 by one of the "servants of the Princeton University Archaeological expedition" (Littmann 1943). The third letter is identical to the b's of bn and bʿḏrh and quite different from the r. The text has been vandalized by the addition of hammered bars across the openings of the b and ḏ of the second name.
