Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
MSFS gs¹m for ġs¹m
Commentary
Ed. pr. has been misled by their transcription into treating the first name as gs¹m. The first letter cannot possibly be a g and is a clear ġ on both the photograph and their copy. That this is not a simple misprint is shown by their attempts to associate the name with the Arabic root Ï-s-m.
