- Commentary
- Area G. The text was probably chiselled with a fine point held at different angles to make different thicknesses of line. Note the evenness of the lines and the chisel marks even on the thinnest lines. The shape of the f and t are distinctive and have been found consistently in texts by members of the ʾl dʾf.
