Interpretation

Commentary
Area G. The w of wʿy is partly obscured by abrasions but is confirmed by Mu 76. The author apparently wrote the n of s²nʾ before the s² then tried to incorporate it into a s² and continued the word finally unsatisfied with the result wrote a s² above the line. The last 11 letters of the text are very lightly scratched. See Mu 73.
