JaS: read as the continuation of JaS 71.3. See JaS 71.3.
Commentary
JaS reads this and JaS 71.3 as one text. However the name s²tyġt as read by JaS in 71.3 is difficult to explain and since the ġ is written slightly above the y it seems more likely that the letters from the ġ onwards are part of a separate text in which the preceding letters have not been drawn on the copy or a continuation of JaS 71.2 with letters missing from the copy. The s² is doubtful and it is possible that it should be read as a f as in JaS. The ʾ of the preposition ʾl has been written slightly above the q and the l has been left out altogether.
