Commentary
Area G. The stone is broken after the z and it is unclear whether any of the text has been lost. The identification with 1038 is not entirely certain since Mu 71 is on the side of a stone on the main face of which there are much clearer and longer texts (Mu 69-70) which were not copied by the Princeton expedition. It is possible the stone was lying in such a way that the main face was invisible.
