Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Harding & Littmann: r ʿn m rather than b ġnmt. DISCUSSION King (1990: 665) commented: "The second b was originally left out and has been added to the left of the m. The next letter is definitely a ġ, although it has been inscribed at an unusual angle and the prongs seem almost to complete a circle. For this type of love text, see Ch.4.E.1".
