- TEXT Harding & Littmann: w s² l mrʾlh r l m t rather than wdd mrʾlh ġlmt. DISCUSSION King (1990: 666) commented: "The d's are faint but certain. The first faces towards the beginning and the second towards the end of the text. The ġ has a badly formed tail which looks as though it has been added on to an original r shape. For this type of love text, see Ch.4.E.2".
