Commentary
If the second letter is a s¹ then it has a different stance to other examples of the letter in these texts and a slightly longer tail. The following letter has a different form to the other r in this text which has one arm as an exaggerated curve. The w is inscribed slightly above the line of the preceding t and was probably left out originally.
